Cycle tourists discover the charm of France on this cycle-friendly route. The route starts in the heart of Paris and is accompanied by the city's most important sights such as Notre-Dame, the Louvre Museum, the Eiffel Tower and many more. After leaving the vibrant capital, the cycle route follows the beautiful meanders of the Seine. It leads through quiet wooded areas and past idyllic villages with pretty half-timbered houses.
The world of Impressionism can be discovered in Claude Monet's garden, while there is plenty to learn about the country's history in the Jeanne d'Arc city of Rouen. Before the Seine flows into the sea, the route splits into two branches: one leads to the lively harbour town of Le Havre, the other to the fashionable coastal town of Deauville.
The cycle tour can be completed completely car-free by bike and train. The journey to Paris and the departure from Le Havre or Deauville is comfortable, relaxed and climate-friendly thanks to the good train connections. The regional trains are equipped with special carriages for cycle tourists, so that nothing stands in the way of uncomplicated cycle transport.ege stands.
