A lovely couple stayed for 2 weeks, fitness fanatics and mega cyclists. They kindly put together a "guide" to road routes and excursions from La Marette.
please click the link.... Cycling from La Marette We often have the Tour de France pedalling by as the town of Saint Meen-le-Grand (15kms) has had three yellow jersey winners. So the area is very used to cyclists on the road and routes are clearly signposted. |
Whether you are on stabilizers or in professional lycra, there are some good routes to explore the surrounding area.
2014 at La Marette had a plethora of avid cyclist. So with their experiences, please find below the comments from the budding cyclists. Jugon-les-Lacs - the feedback here is that the "green" route is a little demanding at times. Chair or tow bar required for small children, beautiful scenery. (Lots to do at Jugon) Saint Domineuc - Easy route, all on the flat, about 12kms to Tinteniac (4 1/2 yr old managed on a balance bike) - also canoeing available in the area! |
Cycling along the Rance is a must and has some idyllic spots to stop for lunch.
So pack up the car, affix the bikes, book your ferry (don't forget you get a 20% on Brittany Ferries) and come and stay at La Marette. |
For those of you who would like an organised cycling holiday, contact Bikecation and please mention La Marette Gites.
