Anjou Vélo Vintage turns Saumur into a celebration of cycling memory, retro elegance and Loire Valley scenery. The event’s charm comes from the way it links old bicycles, period clothing, riverside routes and local conviviality into a weekend that feels rooted in Anjou rather than simply nostalgic. Riders and visitors move through a landscape marked by vineyards, tuffeau stone, river views and village roads, making the bicycle a way to read the territory. The event also celebrates a slower, social rhythm: picnics, market atmosphere, music and encounters matter as much as the ride itself. It is a heritage experience built around movement, style and terroir.
