La Vélobuissonnière is a cycling route through the heart of nature from Normandy to the Loire. Starting from Alençon, head towards Saumur and the banks of the Loire for a 240 km journey off the beaten path! An adventure through charming landscapes: the rolling hills of the Alpes Mancelles, the intimate rivers of the Sarthe or Loir, and picturesque villages... Along the way, explore unique and historic heritage sites, from the half-timbered houses of the Cité Plantagenêt in Le Mans to the esplanade of the Château de Saumur, not forgetting Alençon and its lace, the apothecary in Baugé, or the faience workshops in Malicorne.
