A number of our trips lend themselves to swimming, during a stage or at the end of the day. It would be a shame not to take advantage of it. However, we emphasize that you are the sole judges of whether swimming is appropriate; these swimming sessions are therefore done under your responsibility and at your own risk.

For the bike

• Short or long cycling shorts depending on the season
• Cycling gloves
• A helmet
• Sunglasses (against the sun, wind, insects)
• A windproof jacket
• T-shirts or cycling jerseys
• A map holder on the handlebars
• A bottle cage and water bottle
• Rear panniers to carry your belongings for the day and a lock; or a backpack with a small handlebar bag

Note: synthetic technical clothing is very effective. New merino wool clothing has also appeared; it is very effective and pleasant to wear, and has the advantage of not developing sweat odours. In general, avoid cotton, which becomes cold when wet.

Clothing

• A sweater or fleece jacket
• Comfortable trousers for walking
• Shorts
• A tracksuit or change of clothes
• A lightweight cotton shirt with long sleeves
• A pair of trainers or jogging shoes for the evening
• Change of clothes and personal items

• If you don’t have a pannier on your bike, take a comfortable small backpack of 40 L with hip belt to carry your personal items and picnic during the day. If you have a luggage rack, you can attach your bag to it using bungee cords. Rented bikes are provided with a pannier where you can put your belongings. Still equip yourself with a small backpack; this allows you to easily carry your belongings when you make a visit during your journey.
• Support luggage: a backpack, suitcase or travel bag in good condition.
