Would you like to discover Fontenay-le-Comte in a different way? Get on a bike as soon as you arrive and let yourself be charmed by the narrow streets lined with Renaissance facades, the little canals and the peaceful atmosphere. With rental rates starting from €10 per day, you can opt for a classic VTC or an electric bike if you prefer a boost on the town's gentle slopes.

As soon as you start pedaling, you'll appreciate the peace and quiet of the cycle paths along the Vendée. The Coulée Verte du Pays de Fontenay-le-Comte offers almost 20 km of greenway, perfect for a family introduction to cycle touring. Further afield, follow the Vélodyssée to Marans or even Rochefort, taking in the marshland and bocage landscapes. Lovers of wide-open spaces won't want to miss the famous Marais Poitevin, accessible in just a few kilometers: a network of canals and meadows where the fresh air of the waterside invites you to relax.
