The emergence of cycling cafés, bike cafés, or Bike Cafés, over the last ten years in France, symbolizes a new art of living centered around the bicycle. Created by enthusiasts, these are places for food and drink, but also meeting points for exchange and discovery, with the common values of sharing and conviviality. This first book on bike cafés therefore brings together the best addresses referenced under this name and all the practical information concerning them. Each establishment has its own character, and each descriptive sheet thus resonates as an invitation.

The book:
Having appeared a few years ago in the United States and Northern Europe, bike cafés are gradually establishing themselves in France, in the heart of cities and sometimes villages. Created by true enthusiasts, these places, where both the cyclist and their bike can be refreshed, share the common values of sharing and conviviality.
However, these shops, workshops, bars, and restaurants are not just meeting points where the cycling community gathers before and after each ride or during broadcasts of Tour de France stages. In regions where bistros have closed their doors, they also act as true players in local life. In a world of constant excess speed, bike cafés invite a regenerating break that promotes contact, exchange, but also a contemplative approach to cycling. They symbolize this new art of living centered around the bicycle.
This first guide dedicated to them is a true tour of France’s bike cafés. Illustrated with numerous photos, it offers a broad overview of these atypical places and presents a map of the services offered by each establishment. Happy reading!
