You can find all these rides under NEW in the FulGaz App.
Starting from the impressive medieval Château de Langeais we cross the Loire on the beautiful suspension bridge to enjoy a flat first half of the ride followed by rolling countryside for the second half. The ride passes Château d’Ussé (inspiration for Disney’s Sleeping Beauty castle) and then continues to Château de Chinon. The final 1Km through the medieval streets of Chinon is unmissable!
More InfoWe set off from a UNESCO World Heritage site, the prehistoric stone megaliths that scatter the countryside around Carnac. These megaliths are actually 2,000 years older than Stonehenge. After passing thousands of the stones we soon arrive at the Grande Plage and cycle alongside the beach until we reach the town’s harbour area. After crossing the bridge at La Trinité-sur-Mer we again take the coast road before finally reaching the small port town of Locmariaquer on a Saturday market day. Slow down for the pedestrians!
More InfoA perfect summer's day for a flattish ride along this rugged French coastline. Starting at Concarneau’s 15th Century walled town (Ville Close) we soon pass through the fishing port, the third largest in France, then ride towards the coast with views of the blue sea, sand dunes and beaches. We then turn inland to ride through Nevez, ending in the picture postcard old port town of Pont Aven, home of many artists including Paul Gauguin who painted many famous scenes around the area in the late 1800s.
More InfoStarting from the narrow old streets of the attractive small town of Roscoff, a major Channel ferry port, we pass the local seafront market before setting off for the next ancient town of Saint-Pol-de-Léon. The cobbled streets lead to the 16th century Cathedral, and then we turn inland. The clouds gather but the sun soon re-appears as we approach the coast, reaching the larger historic town and harbour of Morlaix. The ride ends beneath the railway viaduct near the centre of town.
More InfoThe Gulf of Morbihan is a natural harbour on the coast of Southern Brittany containing 40 small inlet islands. The ride was filmed in late afternoon sunshine and features the beautiful coastline, surrounding countryside and villages with typical Breton architecture. It finishes at Plage des 7 Iles, looking across the beach to one of the small islands of the gulf. This is a sightseeing ride so we recommend that you proceed at a leisurely pace or ride in Steady mode. Accordingly, there are no pop-up segments.
More InfoA short, flat and fast ride along the banks of the River Loire after an initial warm up of legs through the elegant city and ancient quarters of Saumur. The ride ends at a sunny Chateau de Montsoreau, the only Loire Chateau build into the riverbed itself. This stretch of the Loire is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
More InfoFilmed on the day of the annual Rando Vélo Rétro, a huge event where more than 10,000 participants ride vintage and retro bikes, dressing up for the occasion. The Rando is hosted at the elegant town of Saumur, famed for its Champagne and sparkling wines. Our ride heads in the opposite direction giving you fantastic views of the Loire, chateaux, and pretty riverside villages. You won’t stop smiling at some of the rouleurs as they wave and sound their bells at you! And if that isn’t enough, you’ll also ride past a mushroom museum (on the left hand side, just after 5Km)! Enjoy.
