Balade à vélo sur les traces de Proust

Sports events

This cycling circuit from Illiers-Combray takes you to the traces of whoever left an indelible mark in the history of the commune: Marcel Proust (1871-1922). Which one of them started paying tribute to the other first, hard to say! It is always the village of Illiers that Proust chose as the backdrop for his novels, in memory of these childhood stays at his uncle and aunt, who lived here. To celebrate the hundred years of his death, Illiers turned into Illiers-Combray, the fictional name that the writer had given to the village in his stories. This itinerary guides you to Proust's house, converted into a museum, before leading you to Catelan, a garden created by his uncle. The trail then passes through Méréglise and Saint-Éman, where you can see the supposed source of the Loir.

Tariff: free.

Duration: 1:20.

Difficulty: easy.
