Renting a bike
Renting a bike is a great solution for:

OPTIONS: One-way bike rental | Renting along the cycle route | E-stations in the Manche and Seine-Maritime departments | Discover electric bikes
Bespoke one-way rentals
Ideal for cycle touring, one-way rental lets you hire a bike from your starting point (on-site or via a delivery service) and leave it at your end destination. Several bike renters offer this type of service along the Vélomaritime route. Don’t forget to book well in advance. Most of the renters offer traditional and electric bike rentals, along with all the equipment (saddle bags, helmets, etc.). Make sure you tell them exactly what you need when you book.
