  4. Valenciennes for two, at your own pace & in freedom
  5. The Valenciennes freewheel

A range of cycling routes and “cyclo-friendly” paths invite walkers to recharge their batteries while admiring the local wildlife and heritage. For a weekend, take a “freewheeling” escape to the cradle of the mining epic, on the cobblestones of the Paris-Roubaix, through the Aunelle valley! Something for everyone… Along the Scheldt, in the countryside, between subsidence ponds, slag heaps and forests for a guaranteed change of scenery.

Cycling must-sees

Valenciennes and the Valenciennois region is a destination not to be missed by cycling enthusiasts… Two major loops invite you to choose between cycling along the banks of the Escaut or through the Aunelle valley. For the more adventurous, our destination also offers an itinerary following in the footsteps of the cobbled sectors of the legendary Paris-Roubaix race, or a vast network of bicycle node points in the mining basin!
