Let the emerald coastlines and Celtic legacy of France’s Brittany region sweep you away on the "Brittany Walled Towns" self-guided bicycle tour. Crafted for experienced travelers and seniors seeking an easy-going yet culturally immersive holiday, this 8-day adventure begins in storied St Malo and ends in Brittany, passing through Fougères, Combourg, Dol-de-Bretagne, and three other charming destinations.

Enjoy leisurely rides along canal towpaths deep into Brittany’s Argoat region—known as the ‘Land of the Woods’—where medieval villages and lush greenery await.
An optional ferry trip to the island of Jersey offers a delightful extension, just 80 minutes from St Malo. Throughout this bicycle tour, discover oyster and mussel farms, savor local gastronomy, and soak up the vibrant coastal atmosphere.

Brittany Walled Towns 8 day self guided cycling was a great trip, riding along the coast with great views, eating freshly chucked oysters in Cancale, visiting the iconic Mont-St-Michel, cycling through rural countryside and many beautiful old villages. We used E-blinked which were great & the instructions and GPS app was very helpful. Would highly recommend this trip.
We absolutely loved the bike ride, don't rush on day 3 to Pontorson, pretty town but not much there and not many choices for dinner. Every other town was wonderful. Upgraded our accommodation but it was still only 3 star...would not spend the extra money.
We cycled through Brittany's walled towns. Round trip from St. Malo and we enjoyed it very much. The weather didn't cooperate most days. It seems that we hit a bad week, but we made the most of it. The towns we stopped over in was absolutely lovely. The accommodations was very well located and we enjoyed staying at all of them, except one where we found the room wasn't properly cleaned. The loaded the directions for our cycle each day onto our Garmin and that made the navigation very easy. We encountered a closed trail once, by could easily navigate around it. The scenery each day was absolutely beautiful. We made time to stop for some snacks in all the little towns and ate some amazing food. This was my third trip with them and will for sure be using them again.
