VDSM

Vals de Saintonge Mobilité is an association helping people travel more independently and sustainably across the largely rural Vals de Saintonge area in Charente-Maritime. Based in Saint-Jean-d’Angély, it supports residents with practical transport options and personalized mobility guidance, including information about ways to travel locally and beyond.

Its services include bicycle rentals, repairs and sales, with both conventional and electric-assist bikes available. The association also offers a vélo-école to help people learn or build confidence cycling, and rents scooters and small driverless cars for journeys such as getting to work or training. For longer-term bicycle rentals, customers can contact the team directly.

Alongside these services, Vals de Saintonge Mobilité promotes everyday cycling and provides personalized support toward independent, sustainable mobility. Its work is focused on making travel more accessible across a territory of around 55,000 residents. The association welcomes inquiries at its Saint-Jean-d’Angély location and invites people interested in supporting its mission to volunteer.
