May will be cycling month in the Pays d’Artois! The “May by bike” operation invites all residents of the region to get on their bicycles to explore the artesian landscapes.

Throughout the month of May, guided bike rides and hikes are organized in the Arras region. Families, beginners or experienced cyclists: there are outings for all levels. This is an opportunity to discover the countryside, villages and landscapes of the mining basin other than by car.

And to end this month in style, a bicycle fair is organized on May 30 in Arras. Do you have a bike to sell? A child who has grown up and whose bike is too small? Or are you looking to equip yourself for the summer without breaking the bank? This is the ideal meeting place to buy, sell or exchange used bikes.

Our region has more and more cycle paths and greenways. The mining basin, with its slag heaps and transformed industrial landscapes, offers surprising and magnificent cycling routes. Take advantage of the month of May to explore them!

Contact the Arras Pays d’Artois Tourist Office to obtain the detailed program of guided outings.
