Véloire cycling routes

Une collection de 8 itinéraires à vélo.
Vue d'ensembleÀ propos de cette collection

A collection of Véloire bike routes mapped on OSM, great for mixing up your rides. Most of the network is paved with long stretches of smooth asphalt, plus the occasional concrete slab and a tiny hint of cobbles. You’ll also find a few short unpaved sections, so wider tires are handy but not mandatory.

Expect a blend of paths and open roads: plenty of quiet lanes, some dedicated cycleways, and a few busier road segments—bring lights and pick off-peak times. There are living streets and pedestrian areas too, where you’ll be rolling slowly.

Terrain isn’t entirely flat, with some punchy climbs and descents sprinkled in. Start points aren’t fixed, so drop in anywhere and make your own loop. Download the GPX, check local conditions, and enjoy the variety.
