The Belgian Francophone Cycling Tourism Federation (FFBC) will host the 17th European Cycling Tourism Week in 2022, which will take place from July 2 to 9, 2022, in the city ofAndenne, located in the Province of Namur and within the “Terres des Légendes Cyclistes” region: Liège–Bastogne–Liège, La Flèche Wallonne, and the Tour de France.
The FFBC and the UECT, who were welcomed by Mr. Vincent Sampaoli, Deputy Mayor, and Xavier Eerdekens, Head of the Sports Authority, were able to tour the various facilities that will be made available and learn about the logistics that will be put in place, notably the three “federal camping” areas and the Andenne Arena Sports Center —located at 14 Rue Dr. Melin—which will serve as the reception and information center.
The event, which is expected to draw 2,000 participants from various European countries, will feature a program combining cycling tours along the legendary Ardennes cycling routes with visits to tourist attractions and cultural activities for accompanying guests.
The presidents of the Belgian Francophone Cycling Tourism Federation (FFBC), Bernard Tonon, and of the European Cycling Tourism Union (UECT), Patrice Godart, signed a collaboration agreement on March 7, 2020, in Andenne, designating the organizers of the 2022 edition of the European Cycle Tourism Week.
