Cycling In Le Touquet
Le Touquet is a great place to base yourself for a cycling holiday. The town boasts over 10km of cycling trails around the town and forest areas. There is a great choice of routes depending on if you want to go for a few hours or fancy something more challenging.
Rent a bike from one of the many hire shops in town and head towards the airport and riding stables. On route you will experience some great views of the Canche Bay. Riding through the residential part of the town is very pleasurable, marvel at the beauty of the multi million Euro Art Deco Villas. Alternatively head out of town along Avenue Francois Godin towards the beach at Stella Plage. Stella Plage is another small beach resort sharing the same stretch of golden sand with Le Touquet. The advantage is that Stella is always much quieter than Le Touquet. You will find some small intimate cafes and restaurants with a family feel.
Traffic in Le Touquet is light so even if you are not on a cycle path you should never feel intimidated. There are lots of other cyclist around so generally motorists are more aware of your presence.
Another notable route, recommended at sunset, runs from the Thalassa Sea Water Spa Centre along the beach to the yachting centre at La Baie de Canche. En route there are many worthy stopping points to admire the sunset.
If you are renting one of our villas such as LOpale in Allée de Jonquilles then it is possible to gently cruise all the way to the beach, stress free on a great cycle route. Alternatively if you are staying in the Lakeside development of May Village just filter into the cycle lane passing by the entrance.
