Cycling in France


cycling
There are many reasons why France is the number 1 holiday destination in the world... picturesque towns, sprawling vineyards, magnificent rivers, impressive chateaus… the list goes on.

Combine this with the French passion for cycling, starting with the development in Paris of the first 'pedal' cycle in the early 1860s, and Le Tour de France capturing the imagination of cyclists around the world every year. How can a cyclist resist France?

In our view, exploring the country on two wheels provides the complete sensory experience, and one that the whole family can enjoy. You can set your own pace and immerse yourself in the sights, sounds and smells that the land has to offer.

Unsurprisingly, France is well set up for viewing by bicycle, with dedicated cycle paths all over the country supplementing the vast network of quiet back roads.
