The Créon bike station

Bikes . Walks. Bike

Located on the edge of the Roger Lapébie cycle path, on the major cycle route of the Canal des 2 Mers à Vélo, the Station Vélo de Créon has been welcoming cycling fans for 20 years!

In 2000, the Créon Bike Station (more information) was one of the first in France to welcome cycle tourists. Installed in a former train station (which also houses the Créonnais Tourist Office), you can rent your bike there (mountain bike, tandem, trailers for children, etc.), glean advice and documentation on the walks to be done (half- day, day or more!) starting from the track via the Canal des 2 Mers à Vélo. We also meet there to share many festive events throughout the year.
