In a gas circulating apparatus, a bypass pipe extends in parallel with an EGR gas cooler. The aperture end of the bypass pipe is inserted to inside of a housing of a valve device and is positioned adjacent to a valve in the housing. Accordingly, the high-temperature EGR gas heat introduced to a second exhaust gas passage of the housing from the bypass pipe is difficult to be transmitted to a first exhaust gas passage of the housing. Thus, the heat transmission of the high-temperature EGR gas to the EGR gas cooler can be reduced.
