OUR ROUTES

-

FOUGERES AND MONT ST MICHEL

Start/finish: Fougères Distance: 95 miles Riding time: 3 hours This route is really short morning’s ride to allow an afternoon exploring Mont St Michel. We’d pack alternativ­e footware: it’s not one you’ll want to walk round in bike boots.

FOUGERES AND THE THREE-CASTLE LOOP

Start/finish: Fougères Distance: 165 miles Riding time: 5.5 hours Mont St Michel is far from the only great castle in the area. Fougères has its own magnificen­t château – and so do Châteaugir­on and Château Gontier. They’re all on this route.

QUIBERON, CARNAC AND ROCHEFORT

Start/finish: Quiberon Distance:180 miles Riding time: 5.5 hours This relaxed ride heads from the coastal resort of Quiberon to the beautiful village of Rocheforte­n-terre. For sightseein­g, it detours past the megaliths at Carnac: highly recommende­d.

COMING TO ARMORICA

Start/finish: Huelgoat Distance: 170 miles Riding time: 5 hours With miles of quiet roads through stunning countrysid­e, the Amorica national park is Brittany at its unspoilt best. This ride flows links all our favourite roads, with stops in quiet villages and the historic town of Guingamp.

QUIMPER: WAY OUT WEST

Start/finish: Quimper Distance: 175 miles Riding time: 6 hours A coastal treat: this route heads to Pointe du Raz (France’s Land’s End), and then to the beautiful Crozon peninsula. It loops pack to Quimper through the unspoilt Arree Hills.

PLOUMANAC’H AND GUINGAMP

Start/finish: Ploumanac’h Distance: 180 miles Riding time: 6 hours From the sleepy seaside village of Ploumanac’h on the Pink Granite Coast, head around the coast then inland to historic Guingamp and back again.
