17,89 km cycling route from Nogent-le-Rotrou to Rémalard

Rejoin the cycle route, riding along undulating little forested roads before branching off onto a greenway going from Condé-sur-Huisne to Alençon. Enjoy the peace along this long country stretch running very close to the Huisne River. Allow yourself a short detour to the magnificent hamlet of Villeray.

🚲 Stage description and details:

You leave Nogent-le-Rotrou via a greenway running beside the Huisne River. Further on, you ride along a little country road. After 8km, at Condé-sur-Huisne, you then join a greenway laid out along a former railway line. This stage allows you to cross a portion of the Perche without having to tackle any slopes… well, almost none!

There’s the possibility of getting off this greenway to enjoy a stop at the villages of Dorceau or Rémarlard-en-Perche. Signposted links guide you to them from the greenway.

⭐ Don’t miss:

The Château des Comtes du Perche, a medieval castle looking across the hills of the Perche area, while inside, a museum recalls the adventures of the lords of the Perche through history.
The hamlet of Villeray is a typical Percheron village, its low little houses climbing a narrow slope, while its former mill with waterwheel has been transformed into a hotel with restaurant. Why not offer yourself a relaxing break at the Domaine de Villeray with its Spa Pom?

🍴 Food and drink en route:
