Cycling day trip from St-Malo to Roz-sur-Couesnon

Ready for a scenic ride from the iconic walled port city of St-Malo to the charming village of Roz-sur-Couesnon? This route runs about 43 kilometers and offers a nice mix of quiet country roads and a bit of adventure on some unpaved sections—so wider tires wouldn’t hurt! You’ll roll past salt marshes and fields as you coast inland from the rugged Breton coast.

St-Malo itself is famous for its pirate history, sandy beaches, and impressive ramparts—definitely worth a stroll before hopping on your bike. The ride is fairly gentle with some rolling hills (just over 130 meters of ascent), perfect for soaking up the views. You’ll spend most of your time on quiet roads, with a few stretches of gravel or track—expect a little bumpiness, but nothing too technical.

Roz-sur-Couesnon, perched on a ridge, is a classic countryside village that overlooks the UNESCO-listed bay of Mont-Saint-Michel. When you arrive, treat yourself to a cold drink and enjoy the sweeping vistas. All in all, a delightful blend of history, fresh air, and rural Brittany charm!
