Why Should You Go Cycling in France?

France is seriously one of the best countries in the world for bicycle touring. There’s so much to see, taste, experience and explore in France! The country has castles, coastlines, mountains, vineyards, an exhilarating history and some of the best food and drink in the entire world! Plus, it’s an incredible bicycle touring destination.

I’ve gone bicycle touring in France on five previous occasions, but the country is large and I realize I’ve really only seen a small portion of this incredible European cycling destination.

That’s why I’ve decided to return to France in April of 2019 and participate in another amazing bicycle touring holiday there.

You Helped Me Plan My Bike Tour in France

Two weeks ago I asked you, my Bicycle Touring Pro readers, to help me decide between two very different bike tours in France.

Of the two bike tours I was trying to decide between, one trip was a food-focused cycling holiday through the vineyards of Burgundy, while the other was a well-rounded cycling holiday in Provence featuring a combination of scenic cycling routes, sleepy villages and classic French cuisine.

Hundreds of Bicycle Touring Pro readers from all around the world completed my survey or contacted me via email, Facebook or Instagram to tell me which of these two bike tours they most preferred…

In the end, the clear winner was the Provence Prestige en Vélo bike tour – a 7 day / 6 night medium-difficulty cycling holiday through sleepy French villages, sun-soaked vineyards, Roman ruins and the magnificent Pont du Gard aqueduct.

This is a high-end self-guided bicycle touring holiday in France. We won’t be camping. Instead, we’ll be staying in high-end luxury hotels. And we won’t be eating oatmeal every day either. Instead, we’ll be eating delicious French foods and drinking the best French wines. And because it’s a self-guided bike tour, we’ll be free to cycle as fast or as slow as we like each day.

This is truly a bike tour that anyone with a moderate amount of bike riding experience can complete with ease.

    Hi Darren, I have been following your amazing adventures for some time and would like to join you in the Provence tour. Do you think it would be possible to bring my dog along? We practice cani cross every day so we are pretty fit. We go jogging for at least one hour every day

    • Darren Alff says:

      I’m not sure actually. I recommend you contact Belle France directly and ask them about this. They’d be able to tell you if having a dog along is a good idea or not. I’m not sure if they hotels we’d be staying in would be okay with that. Contact them and ask though!

  2. Jack Holland says:

    Question for you Darren, What’s the name of the 3 solar-panel you use, what wattage? Did it come with a storage battery or did you purchase one elsewhere. Thanks Jack. By the way we’re now in Guatemala heading for Tegucigalpa – capital of Guatemala.
