Cycle & Sound
A free cycling and music tour in Aunis Sud, blending bike rides with open-air concerts
2026
About Cycle & Sound
Every year, Cycle & Sound brings together a group bike ride and an outdoor musical program across the Aunis Sud community of municipalities in Charente-Maritime. The concept remains the same each edition: a lively starting village, a family-friendly route of about fifteen kilometers, and concert stops at various heritage sites or natural landmarks throughout the region. The event changes its starting town every year and is completely free and open to everyone.
