From Alsace to the heart of Burgundy via Franche-Comté, this 15-day trip will allow you to enjoy the gentle pleasures of the French countryside, as well as the wine-making prowess of the regions you will pass through, true monuments to wine in France.
Along the country's major rivers—the Rhône, Rhine, Doubs, and Saône—you'll ride on a high-quality bike path, Eurovélo 6, which will allow you to enjoy the enchanting landscapes to the fullest without having to worry about sharing the road with cars.
Then, when you venture off the beaten track, you will explore little-traveled wine routes that will immerse you directly in the agricultural richness of the region, and will surely make you want to stop off and try some local products!
