Brittany is famous throughout the world for its cyclists. Plouay (Morbihan) has harboured the world's championship several times. Cycle-lovers won't fail to go for a visit to the velodrome.
No need to run a race, though, to appreciate the charms of the good old bicycle. You can take a breath cycling along the vélo-routes ( fit out and secure network) or dawdling along vélo-promenades, ideal for family trips (way marked, calm routes). Mountain-bikers are equally cared for. The “Voies Vertes” or Nature trails
Velo-routes are long to medium distance itineraries. They guide you across Brittany, France, and even parts of Europe and use different lanes (for non-motorised traffic only), among which the Nature trails named “Voies Vertes”.
The Nature trails take hikers right into the heart of Argoat and rural Brittany. These paths follow old railway lines, towpaths and wooded lanes, and are for non-motorised traffic only. Mostly tarmacked, they are perfect for easy cycling. In time, they will all be dotted with 'Relais-Rando', providing services for hikers.
Lane2 / Saint Malo – Rennes {105 km}
This pastoral way along the Ille-et-Rance canal gives acces to the emblematic cities of Brittany which are Dinan, Rennes, Saint-Malo
Lane 3 / Saint Malo – Presqu'île de Rhuys {150 km}
Using a former railway line, this trail links the legendary forests of Broceliande to Ploërmel (ancient residence of the ducs of Brittany)
Lane 6 / Saint Méen-le-Grand – Carhaix {111 km}
Out of the Monts d'Arrée, this ancient railway line has been laid out to guide hikers through undulating farmland, criss-crossed with hedges and trees, and dominated in the west by heath or wood covered escarpments. On the way, the 12 km long Guerlédan lake is a great playground for outdoor and water activities.
The Vélocéan / Morbihan-Vendée {100 km}
Take some extra time to continue your journey beyond the borders of Morbihan. Discover the salt marshes in Guérande and the nature reserve of Brière, and further on the Pays de Retz with the seaside resort Pornic.

The velo-promenades, cycle circuits
Velopromenades are completely way-marked , circular trails. They vary in length from one hour to a whole day. They follow either small country roads with few traffic of motorised vehicules, or the nature trail network. Basic security rules are thus to be observed, for the sake of all users. Numerous service stations are scattered along the way, providing good reasons for a break.
