Visit Angers by bike
An Enchanting Experience
Visiting Angers is great, but doing it by bike is even better! The charm of Angers is revealed from a different angle on two wheels. Its medieval alleys, lush parks, and Loire riverbanks offer an ideal setting for an unforgettable ride.
Whether you are an experienced cyclist or a beginner, Angers has a route suited to your preferences.
Discovering the Angevin Heritage
Hop on your bike and set out to explore the historic center of Angers.
Admire the majesty of the castle, former residence of the Plantagenets, and be transported by the Apocalypse Tapestry, a medieval tapestry of exceptional splendor.
Then pedal towards the Saint Maurice Cathedral, a masterpiece of Gothic architecture.
Stroll through the alleys of the Doutre district, a former fishing village.
Nature and Relaxation Along the Water
For an escape into nature, take the greenways that run along the Maine and Loire rivers. The bucolic landscapes and panoramas unfold at your own pace on the royal river.
Make a stop at Terra Botanica Park, an extraordinary garden dedicated to the plant world, to marvel at the tropical greenhouses, themed gardens, and sculptures scattered throughout the site.
Continue your journey without a map or plan. There is nothing better than getting lost in a city to truly discover it!
We recommend the Doutre loop.
