The Seine à Vélo has been created thanks to the combined efforts of the counties (départements) through which the great River Seine runs from Paris to the sea, both in the Ile de France Region (radiating out from the French capital) and in Normandy. It offers a uniquely enriching tourist experience. Begun in 2015, the Seine à Vélo project proposed the creation of cycle route V33. This major initiative forms part of an ambitious plan for economic development in the Seine Valley via an expansion in tourism. Hence the opening in 2020 of almost 430km of cycle paths following the river’s meanders, linking Paris, Rouen, Le Havre and Deauville. With so much cultural, historical and industrial heritage, the Seine à Vélo route offers countless experiences via which to discover, or rediscover, the Seine in a new way.
