Vélo Paradisio

hiking

“Vélo Paradisio” is first of all a cycle tourism vintage hike, opened to everyone, which will take you on the roads throughout Green Périgord landscapes, whatever your level of biking and your experience. Three loops have been especially designed :

la Jour de Fête

One 15km loop, which can be done in an afternoon with your family

La Vie est belle

One 40km loop, for biking in family or friends, all day long (25 on the morning, then the “Jour de Fête” loop on the afternoon), with a stop for lunch at Clairvivre

La Ghislain Lambert

One 60km loop, for the bravest bikers, all day long (60 km on the morning, then the “Jour de Fête” loop on the afternoon), with a stop for lunch at Clairvivre

Starting and ending at the Cité Clairvivre, the loops will be punctuated by breaks to rest, to quench your thirst, to taste terroir products and to enjoy yourselves thinking about the kilometers you’ve made.

You go at your own pace, your own speed. No winners, not a race, just an occasion to share a great moment altogether.

Cinema


Seeing a bike in a film has always created images in our minds: a high-speed biking chase between two kids gangs, a postman delivering mail on a countryside road, a child flying to the moon for saving his friend, lovers bumping into one another… Bike and cinema are the guidelines of Velo Paradisio, with activities, challenges…
On the evening, a rockabilly music concert worthy of American Graffiti will set up the ambiance. Then, at nightfall, when all the lights turn off, another lamp will switch on for an open-air screening under the stars. Ushers with baskets full of sweets and ice creams, intervals and other surprises will await you for this grand finale!

bike

Discovering landscapes without hurry, chatting while pedaling, stopping beside the track to take a photograph or just to have a break, remembering our memories, helping and cheering each other on the road… so many things and values that we can share on a bike. The oldest the bike is, the funniest the experience will be!

retro

Don’t think we are nostalgic of an era, a style, or even a fashion… We love the extra-ordinary, what helps us to discover an area differently. We fancy experiences, what seems to be made only for us. We love these times, always too short, in which all the differences, all the social barriers disappear to let the place to a moment of sharing, maybe unique, but real.
We wish this “Velo Paradisio project” to be out of time and remain an unforgettable memory in everybody’s mind. A magic parenthesis where meeting each other becomes essential, where our childhood souvenirs come back to mind with their lots of tears and laughs. A moment of happiness we will live together. For that, what better than an old bike and vintage cloths to start the adventure ?

The rest is what awaits you on Sunday, July, 22nd at the Cité Clairvivre !

Take your children, friends, colleagues, come and join us to live the “Vélo Paradisio Experience”!

Vélo Paradisio

The equipment

In order to live the “Velo Paradisio” experience completely, reuse your VINTAGE CLOTHES : trousers and flower dresses, Sunday suits and leather jackets, hats and fascinators, caps and berets, whatever your tastes and what you will find in your wardrobes!

For the BIKE, we recommend you to have a bike before 1987, when the gearbox passed from the frame to the handlebar. If you do not have some, look into your garages, cellars and barns. Ask people around you, a treasure might be at hands!Our mechanics crew will check the state of the bikes and handle the first breakdowns.

Of course, if you prefer to use your modern bike, feel free to take it, we are sure you’ll customize so well to turn it into a vintage bike! Don’t forget to be vintage-dressed!
