More hills than we expected
5 - Excellent
“Our week was particularly hot, as temperatures in the high 30's swept over France. This probably made the hills a bit more of a challenge, but they are achievable since the bikes are very good and have plenty of gears.We would recommend this holiday, the cycling distances are all less than 50k, taking us through stunning scenery and pretty villages.We were well briefed by the tour operator's staff and when we had a problem with the bike that needed assistance, they came to us within 10 minutes.The first hotel is without doubt disappointing, cramped and poor facilities. However the restaurant next door at La Veille Auberge is excellent.Les Glycines and Le Moulin de Mitou were fantastic with great pools, nice rooms and outstanding food.On our free day at Eyzies de Tayac we hired a canoe from just outside the hotel and paddled for 18k although other longer and shorter distances can be arranged.”
Amazing scenery plus BIG challenge!

“I'd never been to Provence before but will definitely return after this first visit. Long, windy roads with very little traffic, perfect for cycling! Pretty villages perched on hilltops and varied terrain. Can cycle from hotel and back every day with mont ventoux in sight most of the time.”
Dordogne gastronomic cycling trip
5 - Excellent
“A fantastic nine day trip through a beautiful section of the Dordogne, riding between hotels and visiting historic chateaus and towns along the way. The accommodation was excellent, the food was wonderful and the self-guided trip allows you to proceed at your own pace.”
