INDEPENDENT CYCLING AND WALKING HOLIDAYS IN FRANCE

CYCLING TOURS IN THE LOIRE, BURGUNDY OR THE DORDOGNE

We have developed a number of independent cycling tours to suit everyone! These meticulously designed routes allow you to discover for yourself the delights of rural France.

There are no limits, you can cycle at your own whim but you will be accompanied by our exclusive cycling guide researched and written by us. The guide includes cycling notes and maps indicating virtually every lane or track you may wish to explore, along with places of interest, châteaux, cafés and picnic spots.

We are pleased to offer linear, circular or centre based tours. The linear and circular tours follow a route changing hotels every second night. This gives you the opportunity to explore the area in a little more detail and regulate your pace according to your needs. On a centre based holiday you spend your time at a farmhouse or cottage allowing you to get to know the area intimately, do as much self catering as you wish, and not having to repack your bags every day.

Bikes are hired locally. That way we support local businesses and it offers you a support system taking care of any repairs that might be required. Simply provide us with your height and inside leg measurement and your bike will be awaiting your arrival. The bikes are hybrids - a cross between touring and mountain bikes that's perfect for the distances and terrain you'll be covering. We'll provide you with a repair kit containing a spare inner tube and puncture repair kit. However, you will need to know how to repair your own puncture! We also provide you with panniers to carry your picnic and supplies for the day.
