La Vélodyssée passport stamps: collect them all !

The Vélodyssée Passport is back for the 3rd year running.
The concept is simple: all along the route, get your passport stamped as you pass through the tourist offices that are partners in the operation.
Over fifty stamps to collect !

Here's how it works :

    1- order your free passport (made of recycled paper, eco-friendly ink and lightweight, so it fits easily into your handbag)
    2- start your stamp collection during your short or long trip
    3- share your best photos with us on instagram by tagging @destinationpornic and @lavelodyssee

4- ask for your official certificate (with at least 7 La Vélodyssée stamps)

The Vélodyssée in Destination Pornic

If you arrive at the northern end of the cycle route, where the Loire merges into the ocean and the bridge at Saint-Nazaire looks imposing, you'll cross Saint-Brevin-les-Pins and enter Destination Pornic.
Here begins a grand and invigorating 37km stretch from Saint-Michel-Chef-Chef through Préfailles to Villeneuve-en-Retz.
From wide beaches to small, intimate coves, from jagged cliffs to breathtaking panoramas, the Côte de Jade reveals its finest assets

The destination is rich not only in its landscapes but also in its architectural and gastronomic heritage: the galettes Saint-Michel, the Château de Pornic, the seaside villas, the salt marshes, the Lyarne marshes, etc.

To confirm your visit, stop off at one of the 7 Tourist Offices along the way: St-Michel/Tharon-Plage; Préfailles; La Plaine-sur-Mer; Pornic; La Bernerie; Les Moutiers and Villeneuve.

Our local experts will be on hand to give advice and stamp your passport.
And we don't do things by halves: each office has its own unique, personalised stamp.

Come and discover them, and don't miss a single one!
