The idea ? Set off to (re)discover your region, travel in a different way, take your time, respect nature and, above all, exercise ! From the plains of Troyes to the forests and valleys of the Pays d’Othe and Armance, via the vineyards of the On the Côte des Bar, the Raid Bulles and its Gravel course are the perfect opportunity to (re)discover Champagne !
