Find a cycling holiday in France to suit you

Whatever scenery you like to explore on a cycling holiday, France has something to suit. As we are experts in self-guided cycling holidays in France, our selection not only includes routes in Provence and the Dordogne Valley, but all over the country. In Alsace and the Loire Valley, cycling holidays are all about impressive châteaux and abbeys, handsome villages and famous wines. Wine and cultural treasures are again central themes when cycling in Burgundy. If you are looking for coastal cycling, Brittany is an excellent choice, with its sandy bays and bustling harbours, as is our cycling holiday on France’s Atlantic Coast. For a sense of journey as you cycle, our Canal du Midi cycling holiday is hard to beat, or head to the Tarn, also in the south-west, to discover landscapes that have long inspired artists.
