From Rennes to Mont Saint-Michel via Saint-Malo, Northern Brittany by bike

 

Starting from the capital of Brittany, cycle along pretty cycle paths and discover charming Breton villages, medieval cities and the magnificent Emerald Coast before reaching Mont Saint-Michel. Between Land and Sea, this circuit is accessible to most people and takes place in a very special atmosphere, that of old mystical stones and Breton legends.

 

Highlights:

  • Rennes, Dinan, Saint-Malo
  • Greenways and towpaths
  • Cancale and its oysters
  • The Bay of Mont Saint-Michel

 

Day 1: Rennes
Settle into your accommodation located in the city centre of the Breton capital. Take a walk to enjoy the medieval ramparts still visible at the Portes Mordelaises, to admire the Parliament of Brittany, the Thabor park or the half-timbered houses.

Overnight in Rennes

 

Day 2: from Rennes to Hédé (44 km / +285 m)
This cycling holiday in Brittany begins on a towpath. You pedal along a bucolic and shaded route along the canal until you reach the Guipel ponds and then Hédé and its 11 flower-filled locks.

Overnight in Hédé

 

Day 3: from Hédé to Dinan (40 km / +260 m)
On a beautiful greenway, the route continues through Tinténiac and the Evran ponds. The magnificent Léhon Abbey welcomes you at the entrance to Dinan. This medieval town is surrounded by ramparts, houses beautiful half-timbered houses and has a unique atmosphere. It is pleasant to stroll through the cobbled streets or stroll along the Rance.

 

Day 4: from Dinan to Saint-Malo (25 km / + 120 m)
First step towards the sea: the charming village of Taden, which dates back to prehistoric times. You then ride on an old railway line to reach Dinard, a pretty seaside resort with its "Belle Époque" villas. Arrival in Saint-Malo, located on the other side of the Rance estuary, thanks to the water bus. The old town, surrounded by high granite ramparts, is worth the detour. Formerly a bastion of corsairs (pirates approved by the King), the town has been preserved and has a rich Romanesque and Gothic architecture. Visit the cathedral which is a fine example of this and whose stained glass windows tell the story of the town.

Ivernight in Saint-Malo

 

Day 5: from Saint-Malo to Cancale (25 km / + 190 m)
No need to rush today, the stage is short. Enjoy Saint-Malo one last time before cycling along the Emerald Coast. This part of the Breton coast is characterized by beautiful sandy beaches, a wild coastline and spectacular headlands such as the Pointes du Grouin or du Meinga or the Anse Duguesclin. In the afternoon, you reach Cancale, whose oysters are famous for their delicious salty taste.

 

Day 6: from Cancale to Mont Saint-Michel (44 km / + 70m)
Cycle through the polders and the immense plain of salt meadows where farmed sheep graze peacefully before reaching the true wonder that is Mont-Saint-Michel. Night near Mont-Saint-Michel (2.4).

 

Day 7: Mont Saint-Michel
End of your cycling holiday in Brittany after breakfast. Mont Saint-Michel is only a 35-minute walk away. Enjoy your free time to climb and visit this wonder.
