Allez on y va!

- Let's go!

Village Départ, named after the daily departure point in the Tour de France, is a unique cycling location at the foot of Vlagheideberg in Eerde. The first real cycling village in the Netherlands, with catering facilities, overnight accommodation, inspiring meeting rooms and a great range of cycling and other outdoor events. A burgundian place to unwind, where we experience cycling all year round.

Meet. Ride. Eat. Sleep. Repeat!

Food & drink

"De Koers", our cool and cosy estaminee is the base for a hearty lunch, a cup of coffee with a piece of homemade apple pie or a delicious special beer. The ideal break spot for your ride or walk, or come and watch the race with us!

Business

Village Départ offers a wide range of tailor-made packages. We are very happy to facilitate your business event, from meetings and workshops to clinics and speakers from the world of cycling, for example. And all in beautiful green surroundings.

Activities & Facilities

Grab your bike and choose a nice route for your gravel bike, MTB or road bike, or explore the Vlagheideberg area while walking. Take part in one of our social rides or clinics or just unwind on our beautiful terrace overlooking the water. The options are endless.

Overnight

Relax in one of our beautiful accommodations in the middle of nature and wake up to the singing of the birds. Also an ideal stopover for your cycling or bikepacking adventure!

In the starting blocks: the Netherlands' first cycling village!

Ready for take-off! How excited we are. Village Départ is complete with the completion of the construction of estaminee De Koers and its meeting rooms! Literally translated the place of departure, but at the same time the place where you like to stay. We look forward to welcoming you!
