The Mont Vasseur, Le Poovre, le Mont de Sombre, ... Don't they sound familiar to you? You're not alone. These are just some of the many hidden gems of slopes in the Parc naturel régional des caps et marais d'Opale, the natural park in the hinterland of the Opal Coast. They tower a few dozen to more than 100 meters above sea level. But above all, they are asphalted and are very quiet. Occasionally, the Four Days of Dunkirk passes by, even less frequently the Tour de France does. Tourist visitors mainly linger along the coastline. For most of the year, there is hardly any traffic in the rolling northern French landscape, which is ideal for a brisk bike ride.

On Saturday, May 24, 2025, we will set off as a group. We form a peloton and string together the altimeters over the numerous, unknown calf biters. We put the muscles under tension uphill and steer our steed over winding descents. The Jour d'Opale is the little brother of our three-day Tour d'Opale in September. The event has the same DNA: being on the road in a relaxed atmosphere, discovering the region, having a chat with like-minded people while cycling, exhausting the body, to recover and talk afterwards. An active day away from home and creating fun memories, sporty cycling without too many frills.
