“A so-called “royal” race for the galette and because we are in the city where Henry IV was crowned in the cathedral… but above all to give cyclists confidence. This is how Adrien Soissons, one of the organizers and secretary of the Chartràvélo association, describes the Sunday march. The departure will take place at 1.45 pm, place Pierre-Sémard at Chartres station.
An educational field trip
After crossing the Place des Épars, the convoy will head towards the lower city along the old ramparts and then take the Rue du Massacre. The circuit will also pass through the Léon-Blum Park. “The association offers this type of outing every second Sunday of the month. The excursion will end with the sharing of a galette des rois prepared by the volunteers of the association.

“The objective is twofold. Make users aware of the dangers and instructions to apply while having fun. It is important to build the confidence of novice cyclists or those who are not comfortable on a bicycle. The emphasis will be particularly on road sharing with cars, some situations of which can lead to conflicts between public road users. “It is essential to explain where to stand on a one-way lane that cyclists can travel in the opposite direction. The cyclist should always be as far to the right as possible. »
Workshops also offered
Practical elements on vehicle maintenance will also be provided. The association also organizes a repair and marking workshop on Saturdays from 9am to 12pm on the Place des Épars. Members will advise owners on repairs to their vehicle. They will perform even the simplest ones on the spot. “A bicycle can be 90% maintained by the owner,” emphasizes Adrien Soissons.
