France by bike

Discover France, from its major cities to its magnificent regions

France is one of the world's most popular travel destinations. Paris and its lights, the Côte d'Azur and its great 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 thus the number of cycling options that can be incorporated into a cycle touring holiday.

Hexagon, an example of cycling variety

Asterix's homeland abounds in architectural and natural gems that lend themselves exceptionally well to cycling. Discover the Alsatian countryside and its Franco-German heritage, cycle around the volcanoes of the Auvergne, ride along the Canal du Midi or let yourself be lulled by the scents of the lavender fields that abound in Provence.

The most courageous will head for the Alps and its legendary passes: Galibier, Alpe d'Huez, Izoard... recreate your favorite stages of the Tour de France on your dream trip! If you're more interested in lounging around and taking in the great outdoors, a trip from Toulouse to Nice is the perfect way to immerse yourself in the region's rich history, as well as the Mediterranean!

Whichever tour you choose, one thing is certain: gastronomy and wine culture are on the menu! Why not opt for a Self-guided tour that strikes the perfect balance between the joys of the road and the pleasures of good food? Travelling in France means climbing the Tourmalet by day, and downing a tartiflette in the evening!

Well served from Quebec, France offers several possible entry points: Paris, Lyon, Marseille, Bordeaux and Nantes.

Thanks to the French rail network, many of whose trains offer bicycle facilities, it's also possible to combine several regions on the same trip! Don't hesitate to contact one of our agents, who will be delighted to put together a trip tailored to your needs and desires.
