In a few words

Between Brittany and Normandy, this discovery route is ideal for those new to cycling . Take the time to stroll along the ramparts of Saint-Malo, through the winding streets of its walled city. The city will tell you about its glorious past, linked to privateers, explorers, and shipowners. Whether heading inland towards Saint-Suliac or along the Emerald Coast towards Cancale , the water dominates, and the coastal landscapes are magnificent. They change with every pedal stroke, as the day unfolds. Nestled on the banks of the Rance estuary, Saint-Suliac is one of the most beautiful villages in Brittany. In Cancale, leave your bikes behind for a walk around the port. Don't miss the chance to taste Cancale oysters, the pride of the town. Throughout your cycling trip, Mont-Saint-Michel is your focal point , your guiding light, so to speak. Visible intermittently, you approach it safely on the greenways of the bay. The adventure ends at the foot of the Mont's abbey: a visit to Mont-Saint-Michel is an unforgettable experience!

The highlights

  • Saint-Malo, the corsair city
  • The port of Cancale and oyster tasting at the permanent market
  • Mont Saint-Michel

It was great, a wonderful trip, excellent equipment, the accommodations were very good, and the route along small country lanes was very well designed. It's a sporty and original way to discover a region. I thoroughly enjoyed it!

Regarding the route, we enjoyed all the stages except for day 1: we chose the "leisure" option because we were beginners and because we had been told the route was relatively flat in the area. Unfortunately, day 1 was the most difficult, with a hilly, undulating course, a series of climbs and descents, all on a sweltering day. That day, we regretted not having brought an e-bike. The rest of the route seemed much more suited to our level. And day 3 was magnificent!
