The "Vallée de la Lys et Monts de Flandre" network is the first cycling Point-Noeud cycling network in France. It allows you to create a tailor-made itinerary to discover the beautiful Flemish region... on a bike!
Connected to the Belgian and Dutch networks, the circuit offers 830 km of cycling in France.
It works thanks to a system of point-node markers, created in Limburg, Belgium. Easy to use, it offers a great freedom: you establish your own itinerary according to your desires and your physical form and you can modify it along the way.
Thanks to this network of different cycling paths, selected among the most beautiful and safest, you will be able to discover authentic places and landscapes of the region such as the mills and mountains of Flanders or the places of memory of the Artois. Are you ready to go for a ride in this territory rich in beautiful landscapes? First of all, you have to get the map of the "Lys Valley & Monts de Flandre" network in a tourist office of the sector or on the internet.
Then you establish your itinerary by noting the number of the nodes of the chosen route. All you have to do is get on your bike and follow the numbers on the green and white signs.
Located at each intersection, these signs indicate where you are as well as the directions of the following nodes. This way, you can easily find your way around and ride freely, without having to take out your map or GPS. And, of course, if you feel like enriching your route on the way, you can always add points: freedom is yours!
Note that "Top departure" points are also proposed on this network, where you will find a map extract, a tourist display and a filling station.
