From the Vélodyssée to Eurovélo 1
The development of greenways in various European countries has led to the creation of some very extensive itineraries.
These include EuroVélo 1, whose French section has been given the evocative name of Vélodyssée.
It follows Greenway No 7 from Roscoff to Carhaix, the crossroads of the Greenways in western Brittany, where it joins the Nantes–Brest Canal. Once in Nantes, cycling fans can follow the Vélocéan to Hendaye.
But the Vélodyssée is part of a much wider itinerary. EuroVélo 1 starts in the north of Norway and follows its fjords. We then take the boat to disembark in Scotland.
After a detour via Ireland, you’ll arrive in Cornwall. From there, take the ferry to Roscoff. You’ll then follow the Vélodyssée to the Basque Country.
But that’s not all! Once you’ve arrived in Spain, you’re invited to ride on to Andalusia, where you’ll finally turn off towards Portugal! So, all set?
