Lovers of gravel, a 100 km sporting tour made for you. Three-quarters of this route is made up of pure gravel paths and dirt trails.

For cyclists passionate about Gravel, the paths of the Gravel100 offer up a summary of Anjou landscapes: between the Loire and the wooded countryside, ride on paths where forests and ponds follow one after the other until La Possonnière; cross the royal river then take on the slopes of the Aubance and the Layon, before continuing through the forest, the vineyard and the Château de Brissac. Finally, ride alongside the banks of the Loire before reaching Angers and the Nature is Bike Village at Lake Maine. Two “ravito” stops punctuate the route and allow you to recharge your batteries, then, once you’ve passed the finish line in the heart of the Gravel and Adventure-Biking Show, share your experience of the adventure of the DT Swiss Gravel100 between riders with an exclusive “Nature is Bike” drink.
