The Charente-Maritime is comparatively flat, making it an ideal place for bike rides. Whether with your family, your friends or on your own, cycling is one of the best ways to discover the variety of the local nature and the rich heritage.
A huge network of cycle paths
The département has nearly 2,500km of cycle paths and cycle circuits. The itineraries have been very carefully designed so as to guarantee top quality cycle rides. What is more, the network is regularly maintained, thereby guaranteeing completely safe rides. In order to help you plan your rides a series of handbooks and cycle maps is available in Tourist Offices and most bookshops.
And also mountain and hybrid bike circuits
Some of these documents also give details of bike circuits for mountain and hybrid bikes. The Départemental Tourist Cycling Committee also helps develop these circuits with organised rides, and bike and camping rides which can be gentle or sportier.
