France's annual cycling festival, La Fête du Vélo, will be held June 4-5 with events taking place across the country. Here's an overview of some of the fun – and where to find it.
Yep - it's that time of year again: La Fête du Vélo will see bike events taking place all acros France this weekend.
The official website is here – you can use it to search for events near you. There is also a Facebook page, where events are being posted. You can search the French regions here to find events near you.
I'll posted more inspiration below about events across the country. Rather than reinvent the wheel (no pun intended), see the posters for details. I've tried to link each poster to relevant local info – if I haven't been able to find local weblinks, I've made sure a phone number is on the poster.
