Discover Bellefontaine: Leisure, Mountain Biking and Culture

There are several ways to plan a trip to Bellefontaine: Le Village Enchanté and its leisure activities, the “Sur les traces de Charlemagne” mountain biking route to the village, and a collection of portraits in Saint-Martin parish church. These bring together a leisure destination, a specific route and a cultural detail. You can plan your stay around shared leisure activities, a cycling route or portrait art. These topics can be considered separately when planning, rather than combined into a single itinerary.

Le Village Enchanté: leisure activities in Bellefontaine

Le Village Enchanté in Bellefontaine offers more than 30 leisure activities in a natural setting for families and friends of different ages. The focus is on a selection of different activities, not just one. For families or groups of friends planning to spend time together, the range of activities provides a clear starting point. You can make the leisure park the focus of your visit if you are looking for a wide range of activities during your stay.

The attractions include eight ziplines ranging from 5 to 150 metres in length. This gives a clearer picture of one part of the programme: the number of lines and range of lengths complement the broader offering of more than 30 activities. Le Village Enchanté is accessible with a pushchair. If you are planning a visit with a pushchair, this is a practical consideration, alongside whether you want to visit the park for its full range of activities or specifically for the ziplines.

The “Sur les traces de Charlemagne” mountain biking route

The “Sur les traces de Charlemagne” mountain biking route leads to Bellefontaine; the rest of the route follows small local roads. It starts at Juvigny-le-Tertre Town Hall, 36–38 Rue des Écoles, 50520 Juvigny-le-Tertre. The route description was updated on 23 December 2024. The starting point, destination and one feature of the rest of the route are specified. If you include the route in your plans, check the current route before setting off. This is a different focus from the leisure park: here, the emphasis is on the mountain biking route and its course to Bellefontaine.

Portraits in Saint-Martin parish church

Saint-Martin parish church in Bellefontaine houses a collection of four round portrait paintings. The four paintings put the portraits at the heart of a specific art theme. Saint-Martin thus offers a cultural point of interest for travellers who would like to include portrait art in their plans, alongside leisure activities or cycling. The collection is a clearly defined topic within your travel plans: it is about four portraits in round paintings, not a general description of the church.

Different focuses for your trip

For planning purposes, the leisure park and route can be clearly distinguished: Le Village Enchanté offers more than 30 activities, while the mountain biking route has a named starting point in Juvigny-le-Tertre and leads to Bellefontaine. The round paintings in Saint-Martin add a cultural touch. Depending on your interests, you can decide whether leisure activities, the cycling route or portrait art should be the focus of your stay.
