What does a leisure cycling holiday in France look like?
A leisure cycling holiday in France is all about enjoying the ride without making the mileage the main goal. You can generally expect easy-going routes, manageable distances and relaxed days in the saddle, with plenty of time to stop for a coffee, explore a village or take in a château, vineyard or local market. It’s a great way to experience France by bike while leaving plenty of time to enjoy its food, culture and scenery.
For a relaxed cycling holiday in France with plenty of variety, our Versailles to Mont Saint-Michel supported tour follows the classic Véloscénic Route across north-west France. Starting at the Palace of Versailles, you’ll pedal through the Chevreuse and Perche Natural Parks, passing châteaux, historic towns and rural villages before reaching Normandy. Highlights include the thermal spa town of Bagnoles-de-l’Orne, local cider tasting and spectacular views from Domfront, finishing with the unforgettable sight of Mont Saint-Michel.
If you are looking for something a little more challenging and a truly unforgettable journey of a lifetime, you can immerse yourself in France from the Channel to the Mediterranean, on our St.Malo to Nice Explorer trip. With the assistance of an e-bike you will travel through a remarkable succession of landscapes, villages and regions. This 23-day guided e-bike leisure adventure takes you from the fortified streets of St Malo, through the vineyards and châteaux of the Loire Valley, the Dordogne and the Cévennes, before reaching the lavender-scented landscapes of Provence and the sun-soaked Côte d’Azur. Along the way, follow quiet riverside roads, discover medieval gems such as Sarlat and Rocamadour, marvel at the Gorges de l’Ardèche and Verdon, and ride through the vineyards of Châteauneuf-du-Pape. With the reassurance of a fully supported tour and the added boost of an e-bike, this is a spectacular way to experience the sheer variety, beauty and flavour of France by bike, the easier way.
