    Location de vélo de grande qualité très bien entretenus ! Une prise en main en douceur, grâce aux conseils exhaustifs donnés par Alain, le loueur. Nombreux équipements en option, qui apportent du confort pour de longues balades. L'hyper proximité du Canal et la possibilité de stationner son véhicule gratuitement à deux pas permettent une sortie vélo sans contrainte ni tracas.
