Portugal, warm and welcoming

At the south-western tip of Europe and its Iberian Peninsula, Portugal delights tourists with its combination of pleasant year-round weather, welcoming villages and rocky shores with countless views of the Atlantic Ocean. This renowned cycling land will provide you with cycling challenges to match your ambitions, while rewarding you with well-known culinary delights such as grilled octopus, the famous pasteis de Nata or the rich, sweet aromas of Porto, the country's national spirit.

Beaches as far as the eye can see

Portugal's charms are many, but its beaches are hard to beat. With over 900 kilometers of Atlantic coastline, the country's extensive sandy shores are a delight for swimmers and surfers alike. If you're more of a mountain person, no problem! The rugged coastline towers above the beaches, offering countless ocean vistas to travelers.

Once inland, you'll discover Portugal's warm charm, with its small, friendly villages and year-round mild climate. Urban tourists are also well catered for with magnificent Lisbon, set between seven hills that offer magnificent views of the country's metropolis and capital. Saint George's Castle and its lights will make your eyes sparkle, and the many great Lisbon restaurants and their grills will satisfy gourmets!

In Portugal, whatever the destination, there's no wrong choice! The coast and its marvellous beaches, the peaks plunging into the azure Atlantic, the towns and villages combining history and modernity - every kilometer is worth a detour. And that's just as well, because on a bike, you can make the most of every pedal stroke to create priceless memories!

Portugal by bike

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.
