Cycling day trip from St-Malo to Rennes

Start your cycling journey in the charming coastal town of St-Malo, famous for its beautiful walls, quaint cobbled streets, and stunning views of the English Channel. As you make your way towards Rennes, you'll cover about 92 kilometers over an intriguing mix of terrain. Roughly half of your journey will take place on quiet roads, offering a tranquil ride past rustic French countryside.

Expect to pedal over gentle hills, with an ascent totaling just over 500 meters—plenty to get your heart pumping without being overly strenuous. Asphalt dominates the surface, but about a quarter of the trail has some missing or gravelly patches, so it might be a good idea to have a bike with hardy tires.

Approaching Rennes, you'll transition from serene countryside paths to the lively energy of a bustling city. Rennes is the capital of Brittany and is teeming with vibrant cultural spots and exquisite architecture. Be sure to enjoy a well-deserved treat in one of the local cafés and perhaps take a stroll in Thabor Park. It's a delightful ride from coast to city, blending the best of both worlds. Enjoy the ride!
