A Accueil Vélo experience designed with cycling travellers in mind

In the Vignoble Nantais, Accueil Vélo guarantees a warm welcome for cyclists and a peaceful stopover along the Loire à Vélo and the Vélidéale.

Why choose Accueil Vélo for your establishment?

The Accueil Vélo label is the national benchmark for cycle tourism. It guarantees cyclists a warm welcome, appropriate services and secure facilities all along the major cycle routes, including the Loire à Vélo and the Vélidéale, which pass through the Nantes vineyards.

For professionals, gaining the label means joining a booming industry, gaining visibility on national platforms and reaching a growing audience of cycle travellers.

Bike home in the Vignoble Nantais

To qualify for the label, your establishment must be less than 5 km from a signposted cycle route. There are two major cycle routes in our region: the Loire à Vélo, a major river crossing, and the Vélidéale, the route linking Nantes to Clisson through a landscape of vineyards and rivers.

The Accueil Vélo label is open to: classified or approved tourist accommodation, cycle hire and repair firms, visitor sites, leisure activities, restaurants and tourist offices.

Tailor-made support to become Accueil Vélo

We work with you to check your eligibility, advise you on the changes you need to make, review the criteria, prepare for the visit and guide you to ensure that your approach is simple, coherent and solid.
