Bike rental in : mountain bikes, electric bikes & more

Strolling through the quiet streets of Germ by bike is like plunging into the heart of a landscape where the Normandy countryside stretches as far as the eye can see. Early in the morning, you can hop on your bike and ride along the gentle banks of the river that runs through the town. In the fresh air, the sound of birdsong punctuates your pedaling and accompanies you to the nearby orchards, dotted with apple trees and hedgerows.

Turn left after the old washhouse, and a signposted route leads you into the Écouves forest. The undergrowth offers welcome shade on sunny days, while the dirt roads reveal some challenging climbs. If you opt for an electric bike, you'll climb these slopes effortlessly, and at the top you'll discover a breathtaking panorama of the surrounding valleys.

Then return gently to the center of Germ for a gourmet break. On the market square, local producers display their cheeses, ciders and artisan breads. It's the perfect opportunity to recharge your batteries before setting off on your next adventure. For cyclists in search of extra kilometers, the old railroad greenway invites you to loop back to Sées, some 30 kilometers away. Further afield, Argentan and Alençon are easily reached by bike to discover medieval castles and historic sites.

The region's oceanic climate guarantees mild summers of around 23°C and often sunny springs. However, it's a good idea to pack a small waterproof jacket as soon as the Normandy clouds appear. Don't forget to pack a full water bottle, energy snacks and a basic repair kit: inner tubes, patches and a pump will save you a lot of trouble on the dirt roads.

To get the most out of your outing, avoid roads that are too busy at rush hour, and prefer safe greenways. Adjust the saddle and handlebars to your height, wear a helmet and sunglasses, and check tire pressure before setting off. Finally, remember to lock your bike in town and always write down the code of your lock.

By choosing Germ vélo rental, you give your stay an active and authentic dimension. With every turn of the wheel, you'll forge an intimate relationship with the Normandy region and its hidden treasures. Let yourself be guided along the marked trails, breathe in the invigorating air of the surrounding forests and savor the freedom that only a bicycle trip can provide.
