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 French Riviera and its expansive beaches, the peaks of the Alps, the pleasure of eating a fresh croissant… there’s something for everyone!
Between land and sea, cities and the countryside, mountains and valleys, France impresses with the variety of its landscapes—and thus with the many cycling options you can include in a cycling tour.

France: A Model of Cycling Diversity

The land of Asterix is brimming with architectural and natural gems that are exceptionally well-suited for cycling. Discover the Alsatian countryside and its Franco-German heritage, ride around the volcanoes of Auvergne, follow the Canal du Midi, or let yourself be lulled by the scents of the lavender fields that abound in Provence.

The most adventurous will head to the Alps and its legendary mountain passes: Galibier, Alpe d’Huez, Izoard… recreate your favorite stages of the Tour de France on your dream trip! If you’re dreaming more of relaxation and vast expanses of water, let us convince you to take a trip from Toulouse to Nice, which will offer you a chance to immerse yourself in the region’s rich history—as well as in the Mediterranean!

No matter which itinerary you choose, one thing is certain: great food and wine culture await you! Why not opt for a “ Self-guided ” package that lets you strike the perfect balance between the joys of the open road and culinary delights? Traveling in France means climbing the Tourmalet by day and digging into a tartiflette by night!

With good service from Quebec, France offers several possible entry points: Paris, Lyon, Marseille, Bordeaux, and Nantes.

Thanks to the French rail network—which includes a large number of trains equipped to carry bicycles—it’s also possible to visit several regions on a single trip! Feel free to contact our agents, who will be more than happy to put together a customized trip for you, tailored to your preferences and needs.
