Three major cycle routes are available to you
The Scandibérique: covers more than 1,700 km and crosses 20 departments, 4 regions and major cities such as Paris and Bordeaux. This route offers the freedom to experience simple and essential pleasures, to make multiple urban or heritage discoveries, to fulfill a quest for well-being and reconnection… by following the path that takes you far on the Eurovélo 3, the longest cycle route in France. Two stages are located in the Libournais
- Saintonge – Clérac Cycle Route | Libourne – The Scandibérique EuroVelo 3
- Vines and cycling – Libourne | Créon – The Scandibérique EuroVelo 3
The Isle Valley by bike: the greenway cycle route will first allow you to admire the Isle River as it winds through the Valley. You will also enjoy superb views from the footbridges that span the river. A large part of the route is in the Dordogne and the route joins the Scandibérique from Libournais.
The Roger Lapébie trail is a truly pleasant greenway, which winds through the forest on the site of an old railway line. You are in complete safety. Roger Lapébie is a local boy who won the Tour de France in 1937.
Between the vineyards or along a river, these routes allow you to explore the entire region and even cross its borders!
