EuroVelo 5 in France is in two parts. First you can meander through the north, from Calais to to Saint Omer, an attractive cathedral town of wide streets and spacious squares. The itinerary will next bring you to Lille, former European capital of culture.

You will then leave the city and join the Alsace wine road cycle route, which will take you through around a hundred villages, each famous for their world class wine and viticulture.
