Discovering the Vexin français by bike
Day walks
- The Boucle du Vexin "Around Auvers-sur-Oise" : 33 km of dedicated lanes in the undergrowth along the Sausseron and low-traffic roads on the Hérouville plateau. Without major difficulty, it crosses Pontoise, Auvers-sur-Oise, Valmondois, Nesles-la-Vallée, Vallangoujard and Livilliers.
- The Boucle du Vexin "Around Théméricourt" : 32 km of small tarmac roads and dirt paths punctuated by a few (small) hills. In Gouzangrez, you can opt for a 17 km sub-loop which will take you north into the Viosne sector or for a 19 km sub-loop which goes south into the Aubette de Meulan valley.
- The Epte valley greenway: 28 km between Gasny and Gisors following the bottom of this valley, historic border between French Vexin and Norman Vexin. This route with no difference in altitude is done on a dedicated asphalt path accessible to all.
The main routes
- The Avenue Verte London-Paris: more than 400 km between the two European capitals using dedicated traffic lanes
gentle and shared paths. - The "Seine à Vélo" (the Seine by Bike): Nearly 400 km between Paris and Le Havre or Deauville, as close as possible to the river.
- Des 2 Vexin au Pays de Nacre : 162 km of a loop linking the French Vexin to Gisors, capital of the Norman Vexin, Chaumont en Vexin and Méru.
Be careful !
Given the relief and the alternation of surfaces of the circuits proposed, between rural paths and small asphalt roads, the use of at least a VTC is strongly recommended. Before leaving, also check your tire pressure, and take a small repair kit!
