Note : Bikes will be available in Nancy.
Biking it
Each year a mailing list is made available to velorutionaries wishing, to share info and plan group rides to the organiser city. Although the list is open, you need to register first before sending and receiving other subscribers’ messages. You may wish to look up the web archive to avoid repeating the same questions.
Bikers are getting together into groups in several places, some aiming to join the VU, while for others it will only be a stage on their route. This page lists those we know of, so you can contact them and organize how you’ll plan your trip.
We also advertise one the fondest places for our velorutionaries in our region, the fabulous project of Nuclear waste dumping site in Bure … Several groups plan to stop there on their trip.
From Paris
A pad (online collaborative text edition tool) has a few travel tips written by/for the group coming from Paris.
From Strasburg
Cyclo-tour Ecotopia, tours Europe each year. This year, they will be guests to the VU. Don’t hesitate to contact them and ride along with them on part of their trip.
From Brussels
The road to Nancy is envisaged from June 31 to July 6, a departure after the critical mass of Brussels, followed by 6 days of peaceful Velorando.
Depuis Marseille
Un départ de Marseille est prévu le samedi 24 pour arriver sur Nancy le jeudi 6. Plusieurs étapes sont prévu dans des grandes villes.
Avignon le dimanche 26 à midi, Valence mardi 27 à midi, Lyon mercredi 28 soir, Genève samedi 1er soir, Besançon lundi 3 soir, Épinal mercredi 5 soir.
Depuis la Bretagne
Nous avons fixé la date de départ le 26 Juin, depuis Lorient. L’idée est de rejoindre le convoi de Paris qui part le samedi 1° Juillet.
Ouverts à toutes et tous, le parcours est adaptable au 06 41 17 18 58 (Rémi).
Pour le retour, la gratuité des transports en commun est assumée par le Centre de Recherche sur l’Avenir des Déplacements Écologiques : remboursement intégral des billets de train.
By train
There’s the Paris – Nancy TGV . (Please note ! If you choose to stop at Lorraine TGV, bikes are not accepted on the coach shuttle service from Lorraine TGV to Nancy-Centre)
And the so-called Paris – Nancy – Strasburg TGVs and TERs.
There are TGVs from Toulouse (through Lyons).
Bikes are unconditionnally accepted on TERs . On TGVs, there’s a fee of €10 by TGV (Note that in case of connections, you’ll have to pay a separate fee for each train) and provided there are enough available places- of which there’s a limited number.
On ‘Macron’ coaches.
Bikes are not allowed and most lines do not come down to the city center. They stop at a tramway terminal from which you are taken directly to the train station in the city center.
By car
We take it that you’ll manage to find your route.
We suggest the RoulezMalin carpool platform, on which you can organize your trip with other carpoolers. Registration required.
