France Bike Tours

A bike tour is simply the best way to see France - out in the countryside on tranquil roads exposed to local culture, interacting with the locals. On one of our bike tours in France, for a week you will live like royalty cycling routes through lush valleys dotted with romantic chateaux and legendary villages once home to the Greeks and Romans. Savor elegant cuisine and local wines, discover art, culture, beauty and the light that inspired Picasso and Van Gogh all on the seat of bicycle.

Our Alsace bike tour has it all. Do you love visiting castles? Alsace boasts Europe's highest concentration of feudal castles, bearing witness to its turbulent history. The Alsatian Vineyard Route is a veritable rite-of-passage for the discerning wine buff, and you’ll have plenty of opportunities to taste the Alsatians’ craft throughout the week.
