What is Anjou Vélo Vintage?

Every year, Anjou Vélo Vintage brings together thousands of participants from all over the world, all united by one golden rule: go retro ! The concept is simple: to participate, you need a pre-1987 bicycle (with no handlebar-mounted gear shifters) and a matching period outfit (suspenders, moustaches, swing dresses, and vintage caps are a must).

Beyond the cycling tours, the entire town of Saumur steps back in time thanks to a vibrant Vintage Village featuring second-hand dealers, retro barbers, live swing concerts, and local food trucks.

On the Agenda for the 2026 Edition:

• Diverse Cycling Routes : Loops ranging from 30 to over 100 km through the Saumur vineyards, along the Loire banks, and past troglodyte cave villages.
• The Retro Village : A free festival in the heart of Saumur to shop for vintage gems, dance, and soak up the atmosphere of the 1920s to the 1980s.
• The Guinguette Evening : The ultimate party to dance the night away to jazz and rockabilly rhythms.
