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.”

“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.”

“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.”

Highlights of France Bike Tours

  • Savor the best local wine and food during your bike tour in France, such as stunning red wine from Cotes du Rhone and the tastiest foie gras from Provence and Bordeaux.
  • Take in the very best of Southern France by cycling the Luberon and admiring the olive groves, vineyards, and aromatic lavender fields.
  • Explore the beauty of Corsica and its diverse terrain including deserts, coastal roads, forests, and mountains. Bike tours of France don’t just have to take place on the mainland!
  • Cycle the western front, from Amiens to Bruges in Belgium. Perfect for history buffs, this route passes through the stunning French countryside and is rife with World War I history.
  • Discover the legends of the Cathars by embarking on a cycling tour across the Canal du Midi, where you’ll make stops at the city of Carcassonne and Avignonet on your way from the Mediterranean to the Atlantic.
  • Challenge yourself with a hill climb up Col de Tourmalet, one of the most demanding routes on the Tour de France! Those who make it to the top are rewarded with unparalleled views across the Pyrenees and beyond.

Travel Tips of France Bike Tours

  • Give your bike a thorough service before setting off on a bike tour of France. This will ensure it is in top condition and hopefully prevent any punctures or breakdowns. Don’t forget to carry a repair kit just in case!
  • Check with your airline about the logistics of taking your bike if you are bringing your own on a France bike tour. You may also want to insure it for the trip.
  • Using an e-bike can help cyclists keep up on more intensive bike tours, especially those going through hilly and mountainous regions such as the Massif Central and the French Alps.
  • Make sure to rest up and enjoy the amazing foods at the hotels where you end up on each leg of your France bike tour. Not only can you enjoy the culinary delights of each region but you’ll be well prepared for the journey ahead.
  • Book your French cycling tour between the months of April and October for the best weather, but try to avoid traveling in the tourist high season between mid-July and mid-August to avoid the crowds.
  • Pay attention to the weather forecast before you go to be able to pack appropriately. The last thing you’ll want is to be soaking wet on your bike because you left your rain jacket at home!
