Paris to Bruges

This tour is characterized by a wide variation in landscapes. All the ingredients a good bike & barge tour needs to explore these interesting regions.

With departure from Paris ‘the City of Lights’ you’ll cycle along World War I battle fields and memorials in the Somme valley, the Chateau de Chantilly and its art gallery the Musée Condé that houses one of the finest collections of paintings in France.

Cycling in Belgium will be a beautiful discovery tour, history in medieval Ghent, tapestry in Oudenaarde, Vincent van Gogh’s heritage, a nice Belgium beer at end of your daily cycling tour with your final destination of magnificent Bruges.

The cycling tours go over gently forested undulations and across open farm land, along the rivers Scheldt, Somme, Oise andSeine; the Belgian-French border also appears to be more or less the watershed between the river basins of Scheldt and Seine.

We advise you to come to Paris one or more days earlier, so that you will have plenty of time to discover the ‘City of Lights’.
