Amsterdam to Le Mans

Recommended Posts

I’m heading down to Le Mans for the 24hr race in June and my mate and I are taking our bikes over to Amsterdam from Newcastle on the ferry.


I’ve ridden in Europe a few times and have always been very well organised and known what are good routes and areas to play in because it’s been a “bike” holiday to the usual well known bike friendly areas.

This time the journey is more about getting from A to B but I really don’t want to simply head down a motorway for 7.5hrs so I’m reaching out to see if anyone has any knowledge of an interesting route I could take, or place I should visit / ride through.


I’m expecting one over night stop somewhere to split the journey and would consider two over nights if a farther-a-field detour was justified for some quality ride time.


Anyone have any experience in the area or suggest some good websites that I could use for help with my planning?

P.S. Be very aware of you speed around Le Mans that time of year the gendarmerie have a field day with speeders - and show no mercy

Hi, the route from Amsterdam to Le Mans is not very interesting or scenic, it's motorway, very flat, busy and commercial. I see that your from the North East. Personally l would be inclined to take a run down the UK to the south coast and get a ferry across the channel to Caen or Le Havre it's then a nice easy ride to Le Mans.
