L'Eure-Express

Embark on a cycling epic along the Eure valley, between Chartres and Rouen. Accessible by train and returning to the station at the end of the adventure, this 3-day tour invites you to take a break from time, at the gentle pace of cycling. In the image of the prestigious rail journeys of yesteryear, each stage reveals its share of wonders: the illuminated cathedrals of Chartres and Rouen as departure and arrival points, veritable architectural gems illuminated at dusk. Designed for beginners and the curious alike, this 195 km route plunges you into the royal and bucolic history of the Eure Valley. From town to village, as if in a compartment opening onto a thousand landscapes, let yourself be surprised by the stops: the Château d'Anet, worthy of a historical novel, the Pacy-sur-Eure tourist train, a nod to the region?s railway past, the green banks of the Léry-Poses park, or the Biotropica wildlife gardens, before ending your escapade at the foot of the majestic Rouen cathedral. A weekend of pedaling in the heart of nature, just 1 hour from Paris, the elegance of a bicycle tour.
