Ronde des Clochers - Villars-les-Dombes 2026

Ronde des Clochers is an afternoon charity cycling randonnée in Villars-les-Dombes, France. Riders meet at the Salle Polyvalente, with registration sometimes listed at Place de la Mairie. It is organized by Cyclotouristes du Centre Dombes and provides road routes of 28 km, 47 km, and 60 km. The two shorter routes are rated easy, and the longest is marked harder. Entry fees are modest, with different prices for the general public and club members. The ride is also known as the “10 clochers” ride, indicating a route designed around local church towers in the Dombes region. The event functions more as a community ride than a formal race. Participants select a distance, ride for a cause, and support charity partners like AFM Telethon, the League Against Cancer, child-aid organizations, and Les pas de Livio for therapeutic trial funding. Some listings mention very small VTT and gravel route options, but the primary focus is on the road circuits.
