      Did you know? Since 2026, Original Vélo Tour has been actively committed to preserving its playground by joining the " Let's plant the pollarded trees of tomorrow in the Marais poitevin " operation.

      Threatened by ash dieback (a disease that decimates ash trees), the Marais Poitevin (Green Venice) risks losing its 450,000 iconic trees, essential for maintaining the riverbanks. To support this vital project led by the Regional Natural Park and the Heritage Foundation, Original Vélo Tour donates €0.50 per paid entry to the replanting campaign. A great way to cycle with a purpose. Thank you for your contribution!
