France
You had me at “bonjour”
There is perhaps no better gift to cyclists than France with ideal terrains and backdrops of verdant pastures, mountaintops, gorges and canals. Locals celebrate the sport of cycling fervently, especially as hosts to one of the world’s biggest annual sporting events, the Tour de France.
France boasts a high number of well-established routes and time-tested itineraries from several tour operators, with a range of levels and experience available for novices and pros alike.
Experience the peaceful ambiance and calm pace of the French countryside, with its farms, vineyards and chateaux, and the country’s rich history from medieval cathedrals to 20th century battlefields.
The setting, the biking, the food and wine but above all the way we, the guests, were treated was nothing less than perfect.”
