EuroVelo 5 – Via Romea (Francigena) in France unfolds in two distinct stages. First, it winds northward from Calais to Saint-Omer, a charming cathedral town famous for its broad avenues and grand squares, before reaching Lille, a former European Capital of Culture. The second leg invites you to return to France via serene canals, leading to Strasbourg, celebrated for its historic landmarks, vibrant culture, and role as home to the European Parliament.
From there, the route merges with the Alsace Wine Road, guiding cyclists through over a hundred picturesque villages, each famed for world-class wines and timeless viticulture. This journey blends urban elegance with rural charm, offering a rich tapestry of heritage, scenery, and gastronomy along the way.
