France is one of the most visited countries in the world, yet it offers some of the most isolated, peaceful cycling paths found anywhere in Europe. Enjoy the ‘savoir vivre’ with wine and cheese from France’s world-renowned cuisine. To ensure you have enough energy for a day of cycling, start every day with a croissant or one of France’s countless pastries.
Our bike tours in France have all the ingredients of a true adventure: Gallo-Roman cities, medieval castles, and cozy towns along the way. Cycling in the Seine Valley will allow you to explore forests, castles, and discover many of the scenes that inspired painters of the Barbizon school. And at Fontainebleau, you can walk straight into Napoleon’s bedroom, if you like!
