The most beautiful bike rides around Cholet
Located at the gateway to Anjou, Cholet is an ideal starting point for exploring the region by bike.
You will be close to greenways and cycle routes.
Whether you are a fan of bucolic rides or a seasoned cyclist, the routes around the city combine varied landscapes and historical heritage.
Easily accessible from the town centre, the Parcours de la Moine trail runs alongside the river of the same name and winds its way through the Parc de Moine and the surrounding woods.
This 13 km loop is perfect for a family outing.
The calm of the river and the picnic areas make it a particularly popular route for Sunday cyclists.
Another must-do ride is the loop connecting Cholet to Lake Ribou.
This approximately 20 km route immerses you in the heart of nature.
Along the way, you can ride along the lake's banks, cross small country roads and enjoy peaceful views.
This route is hilly without being difficult, and is suitable for cyclists of all levels.
Why not visit the region's old mills, witnesses to Cholet's industrial past? To do so, head for Puy Saint-Bonnet, about ten kilometres from Cholet.
The ride will take you to mills, small chapels and hamlets typical of the bocage landscape.
Its appeal lies in the alternation between rural heritage and countryside landscapes.
Finally, for those who love beautiful getaways, take the cycle route eastwards to the Anjou vineyards.
Starting from Cholet, you can reach the vineyards by following the marked routes for around 40 kilometres.
This more demanding outing will reward your efforts with beautiful landscapes and the opportunity to visit wine cellars and vineyards along the way.
