Frequently asked questions from travellers

Yes, there are options:

• 1.) Some bicycle rental services offer a ready-to-go, ‘one-way’ plan: they deliver and pick up the bikes you rent from them.
• 2.) There are bicycle transporters.

All Accueil Vélo-certified lodging offered on this website is capable of handling the transfer of your luggage to your next place of lodging. This service may be free or for a fee. Note: Make sure to clearly inform the lodging staff before your stay.

You can also use transport companies that specialise in transferring luggage for cycling trips.

Specialised transporters

Please note that not all departmental, regional, or national trains or coach buses are equipped for transporting bicycles. It depends on the age of the train or coach, local infrastructure policies, and whether it’s economically advantageous to offer such a service on the line in question.

Transport with a bike

This mark of quality helps you identify tourism service providers specially adapted to cycling tourism. This can include lodging (hotels, campsites, holiday cottages, bed and breakfasts, etc.) or bicycle rental and repair services, but also tourism offices, tourist attractions, and leisure activities. All establishments with the label must be located less than 5 km from La Vélodyssée and offer a certain number of services specifically for bicycle travellers.
