Greater Lille Tour
by Le Grand Huit
44 miles of superb route connecting the beautiful parks of the Metropolis of Lille, easy as long as you are ready to cycle for five hours.
At 75% on specific, signposted cycle paths: Eurovélo 5, Paris-Roubaix voie verte, voie verte de la Marque. The remaining 25%, to the south, are also very nice but not marked out.
You can help yourself with this google map below, or the Geovelo application, very well done. You can also download the GPX file of the tour in order to have the route available on your compatible mapping software.
If you prefer to shorten it, join one of the stations indicated on this route, served by a TER train which accepts bicycles free of charge.
If necessary, you can rent your bikes by appointment at Le Grand Huit, at the Pont de la Citadelle in Lille.

Thomas Dusart, member of the Grand Huit, has just been crowned French junior Stand Up Paddle champion. At only fifteen years old he even managed to finish sixth in the long distance, all categories combined. Congratulations, especially since we know that Thomas' preference is to row slowly, to draw near to his seal friends in Dunkirk
Come and test the waters! And above all the Paddle Festival, whatever your level. Our routes are superb, and ... right into town.
