Experience the wild emerald coast of Brittany and its mysterious Celtic traditions by bike. Jutting into the Atlantic, Brittany sets itself apart from the rest of France in more ways than one. Strong Celtic traditions and rites of worship are evident in the prehistoric monuments and vestiges explored on this itinerary. The indigenous language of Breton, discernible on signs and buildings, conveys the proud sense of identity found within this region. Brittany's 1100km of wild coastline is home to spectacular walled villages that are best explored on foot and by bike. There is plenty of time to take in the breathtaking wonder of Mont St Michel, along with the 'pirate's town' of St Malo, quaint seaside villages and oyster and mussel farms along the way. Following canal towpaths into Brittany's interior of Argoat (meaning 'Land of the Woods') you can discover the ancient fairyland of Dinan and the picturesque fortress of Combourg, complete with the Lac Tranquille. An option to extend your cycle journey to the island of Jersey for the day, being only 80 minutes by ferry from St Malo, is highly recommended.

Solo trip around the Dordogne was good.
Anonymous | Traveled in July
This was a great tour - the bikes were really well suited to the terrain. Accommodation was generally great. Navigation with Ride with GPS was really good. We liked that someone met us before we headed out and gave us a road book that we could review each evening before the next day's ride.
Julia | Traveled in July
The trip is well designed, combining wine tastings, château visits, and charming village stops along the route. The optional rest day in Amboise gave us plenty of time to explore Château du Clos Lucé, Leonardo da Vinci's final residence, where we could immerse ourselves in his remarkable inventions and artworks, as well as visit the excellent museum dedicated to his life and genius. The cycling is mostly on flat terrain, making it an easy and enjoyable ride for cyclists of all abilities. The scenery is spectacular, with vast open fields stretching to the horizon, peaceful rivers and lakes, magnificent châteaux, and picturesque medieval villages. Our guide, Erwin, was efficient, well organised, and took excellent care of the group, thoughtfully adapting the itinerary to cope with the unusual heatwave. He was also very knowledgeable about the local history and introduced us to some wonderful local restaurants. I would highly recommend this trip to anyone looking for a perfect combination of cycling, culture, history, food, and wine.
