CYCLING IN FRANCE

The Loire Valley, the Dordogne and Provence are our firm favourites for gentle cycling adventures.

Why these parts of France? Well now, let’s see ….

Avenues of twisted plane trees. Berets and crispy baguettes. Ripe cheeses straight from farmhouse to market place. Foie gras and big hanging bunches of Herbes de Provence. Cobbled alleys and half-timbered, honey-coloured houses. Loire châteaux by the score, each magnificent and masterful. The rich flavours of Châteauneuf-du-Pape. The clang of the local ‘patois’ dialect and the clink of ‘pétanque’ balls. Freewheeling fun down rolling vineyard slopes. Climbing the craggy peaks like pilgrims-past to gaze down on the Dordogne. Caves covered in prehistoric paintings or brimful of bottles. Fresh-tasting Côtes du Rhône and Mediterranean magic of a rich ‘Bouillabaisse’. Who needs the Eiffel Tower anyway?

Great places to stay…

Family-run ‘auberges’ and inns, comfortable city centre hotels or the most modern boutique chic –the properties we’ve selected for our tours around three very special regions of France are simply very French in flavour.

With further food for thought…

In Provence our tours are on a bed and breakfast only basis, but in theLoire and Dordogne we include dinner for you to enjoy the local flavours to the full every evening either at the hotels or nearby. With pleasant terraces, inviting courtyards, river views or practically brushing shoulders with a château, all the hotels are well-located and rated 2 star according to local classifications.

Good friends to support you along your way…

As much as we might like to, we can’t cut ourselves into pieces and welcome you personally all around Europe. In each region of France, we work in partnership with local experts who share our commitment to quality, service and great cycling. Together, we ensure that the route notes prepared during our own latest experiences are up-to-date and that accommodation continues to meet our high standards. We are proud of our partners and delighted that, on our French tours, you will be welcomed by friends.

Getting to the start of your adventure

We’ve been organising cycling holidays to France since 2002. There have been a lot of changes in the world of passenger transport over the years: we have knowledge to share about how to get to France by rail, ferry, tunnel or air. We are pleased to talk through all travel arrangements, including transfers from stations and parking for your vehicle.
