The Scandibérique
The Scandibérique is the French part of EuroVelo 3, a cycle route linking Trondheim (in Norway) to Santiago de Compostela (in Spain). It covers over 1,700km, crossing four French regions, 20 French counties (départements) and major towns like Paris and Bordeaux.
The route offers cyclists the freedom to experience simple but life-enhancing pleasures, to make all manner of urban and heritage discoveries and to enjoy a path to well-being and reconnecting with the great outdoors… following a cycle route that can take you far!
Enjoy the royal road between Fontainebleau and Chambord! In the Loiret, La Scandibérique travels over more than 180 km along rivers, canals and the royal river. On our Lands, don’t miss a visit to the village of Tavers and our two medieval towns: Beaugency and Meung-sur-Loire!
