Festival "Du Vent dans les Rayons" et Bourse aux Vélos

Bicycle travel festival in the Maurienne

The 'Du Vent dans les Rayons' festival is an original and friendly event dedicated to bicycle travel, held every spring in Hermillon, in the Maurienne Valley. For its 2nd edition, the festival takes over the Salle Léopold Durbet in La-Tour-en-Maurienne, offering a full day of entertainment from 10am to midnight, all on a pay-what-you-wish basis.

Free bike sale

One of the highlights is the bike sale, open from 10am to 6pm. Individuals and enthusiasts can sell or buy second-hand bicycles with no commission fees. Whether you're looking for a road bike, mountain bike, touring bike or children's bike, it's the perfect opportunity to find your ideal ride at a bargain price. Repair and maintenance workshops are also available.

Shows, concerts and artisan market

Beyond the bike sale, the festival offers a rich programme. Live shows and concerts enliven the day and evening, creating a warm, festive atmosphere. An artisan market showcases local crafts: cycling accessories, handmade products, textile creations and Savoyard delicacies. Travellers' tales and screenings complete the programme.

Hermillon and the Maurienne, a cycling paradise

The Maurienne Valley is internationally renowned as one of the finest cycling playgrounds, with its legendary passes including the Galibier, Croix-de-Fer and Télégraphe, regularly featured in the Tour de France.
