Bike-friendly hotel in the Belgian Ardennes — Le Manoir
Le Manoir — Marche-en-Famenne
Marche-en-Famenne is a practical starting point for exploring the Famenne-Ardenne region by bike, between the Ourthe valley, typical villages and rolling backroads. Le Manoir welcomes cyclists with a secure bike storage room and a charging station for e-bikes and e-scooters — right on site, included with your stay.
What Le Manoir offers cyclists
- Enclosed, secure bike room, separate from the rooms
- Charging for e-bikes and e-scooters
- Free private parking for those arriving by car with bikes on a rack
- Rooms that are easy to reach for unloading your gear
Le Manoir is Bienvenue Vélo labelled, Wallonia’s official label guaranteeing a warm welcome and facilities designed for cyclists.
Why Marche as your cycling base
From the hotel, several routes fan out towards Hotton and the Ourthe valley (~9 km), Durbuy (~19 km) or Rochefort and the south of Famenne (~13 km). The terrain stays manageable on a classic bike, but an e-bike is clearly recommended for stringing together several days without excessive fatigue — which is exactly why a hotel that plans for charging in advance, rather than as an afterthought, matters.
On the major cycling routes
The RAVeL, Wallonia’s network of car-free greenways for cyclists, runs right past Marche-en-Famenne. The town also sits on the route of EuroVelo 5, the international cycle route linking England to Italy — an ideal stopover for touring cyclists.
For a multi-day stay
Many cyclists build a 2- to 4-night stay at Le Manoir with a different loop each day rather than changing accommodation — you keep your room, your bike stays secure while you explore Marche’s historic centre, and you set off again the next day with a full battery.
