    The "Avenue Verte Paris-London" route was born from a great project, that of linking the two emblematic capitals by cycle paths and small roads. It was officially inaugurated in 2012 for the London Olympic Games.

    In France, 2 routes are proposed, one via the French Vexin and Gisors, and the other via the Oise valley. It is this second route, made up of bucolic landscapes and historical discoveries, that we describe here.

    However, be aware that although cycling between the 2 capitals is a great experience, the journey is not yet quite up to the level of the "Loire à Vélo" in terms of organization. But the adventure is really worth attempting…

    Author’s recommendation

    We suggest doing this route in 14 stages (9 in France and 5 in England).
