Cycling Eurovelo 3, from Northern France to Belgium
Rupert Parker gets in the Saddle for cycling Eurovelo 3. Across seven days, I’m going to ride through forest, farmland and along river valleys across France to Belgium.
On the way I’ll explore châteaux, cathedrals, and cobbled squares and move at the pace Europe was built for. I’ll be riding an E-Bike and get all the help I need from electricity.
The EuroVelo 3, known as La Scandibérique, winds from Norway to Spain, tracing the footsteps of medieval travellers by bike.
One of its most captivating sections lies much closer: the 300km journey from Chantilly, near Paris, to Thuin, in Belgium. There are Accueil Vélo (in France) and Bienvenue Vélo (in Belgium) accredited facilities all along the EuroVelo 3.
