Our ideas for sustainable activities made in Grand Est

Soft mobility and discovering the great outdoors

Sustainable tourism and soft mobility go hand in hand. Forget your car, there are a thousand and one ways to discover the Grand Est without polluting in slow mode! You can cycle along the Champagne vineyards, take a segway tour of Strasbourg or explore the Ardennes forest on an electric scooter. There are plenty of sustainable mobility solutions available to help you explore our magnificent region!

These alternative forms of transport allow you to experience the region in a different way, as close as possible to the countryside, without noise or constraint. They transform a simple journey into a fully-fledged experience, punctuated by breaks, encounters and discoveries.

Take the time to contemplate the beautiful landscapes that surround you, and let the wind of freedom blow through your holiday!

Explore the Grand Est in a different way thanks to gentle roaming

Travelling through the Grand Est at your own pace means choosing a different way of travelling: gentler, more immersive, more in touch with the land. On foot, the Traversée du Massif des Vosges takes you through ridges and forests to the horizon. By bike, the Meuse à Vélo criss-crosses valleys and villages full of character, while the Voie Bleue winds its way along the water's edge, between nature and serenity. For great European escapes, the EuroVélo 5 and the Véloroute 52 open up routes for cross-border discoveries. And for a bubbly immersion, the Raid Bulles guides you through the heart of the Champagne vineyards on gravel, between the effervescence of the landscapes and the art of living.These major itineraries are all invitations to travel differently - freer and more alive.
