Cyclists friendly
“Accueil vélo label” - Bike friendly accommodation and services
Like the county council, the professionals are getting involved in a cycling friendly action. The “Accueil Vélo” is a national brand that guarantees cycling tourists a warm welcome as well as quality services adapted to their expectations.
Based on a quality charter, this label is attributed to different types of tourist establishments located less than 5 km from the one of the counties cycle paths. It covers:
- different types of accommodation,
- bicycle rental and repairers'shops,
- sightseeing and leisure sites,
- as well as Tourist Offices.
The label is only awarded to companies taking part in the scheme.
Accueil Vélo has an equivalent Label in the Netherlands (Fietsers Welkom!) and in Germany(Bett&Bike). Similarly, in the United Kingdom and Northern Ireland the “Welcome Scheme” is designed for cyclist, hikers and numerous other groups.
