Discover France, from its major cities to its magnificent regions

France is one of the most popular travel destinations in the world. Paris and its lights, the French Riviera and its wide beaches, the peaks of the Alps, the pleasure of eating a fresh croissant... there's something for everyone!

Between land and sea, cities and countryside, mountains and valleys, France impresses with the variety of its landscapes and, as a result, the number of cycling options that can be incorporated into a cycling vacation.

France, an example of cycling diversity

The land of Asterix is full of architectural and natural gems that are perfect for exploring by bike. Discover the Alsatian countryside and its Franco-German heritage, cycle around the volcanoes of Auvergne, ride along the Canal du Midi, or let yourself be lulled by the scent of lavender fields in Provence.

The most adventurous will head for the Alps and its legendary mountain passes: Galibier, Alpe d'Huez, Izoard... recreate your favorite stages of the Tour de France during your dream trip! If you're more interested in relaxation and wide open spaces, let yourself be tempted by a trip from Toulouse to Nice, which will offer you a glimpse into the region's rich history, as well as the Mediterranean Sea!
