It has recently undergone significant development and now offers a wealth of information and features for cyclists and hikers. The Club des Cent Cols is a partner of the FFCT and helps to improve the quality of veloenfrance.

By zooming in on the map, each starting point is shown individually. By clicking on the starting point, the route of the hike appears, along with some miscellaneous information. "More info" provides a fuller description of the route.
