Beaujolais is a land of cycling, so it should come as no surprise that the Saône-Beaujolais community of municipalities beats the drum for the sport and the values it conveys. We are proud to facilitate and promote cycling in every dimension in our area (green lanes, "Plan vélo", AVELO programme, "Tour de France Cycle City" label and, coming soon, the Trades cyclo-cross track). Our villages, towns and cities are a frequent stopover in the Race to the Sun. The field will roll out of Chalon-sur-Saône, which hosted a stage finish in the 2023 Tour de France, and into the vineyards, entering Beaujolais in Cenves and tackling the summit finish on Mont Brouilly. On Mont Brouilly, the beautiful hillsides are decked with vines and Brouilly and Côte-de-Brouilly wine grapes soak up the sun and nutrients from the fertile soil. Our local authorities are tapping the massive touristic potential of their wonderful landscapes and heritage to re-energise this wonderful corner of the world.
