France Road Cycling 7 & 10 Days -
France
Just imagine long torturous mountain passes under a blazing French sun,
the hustle and bustle of the sprinters jostling for the finish line
reaching speeds approaching 70kmhr, and the sight of the peleton winding
its way through fields of sunflowers and lavender make the biggest of
the grand tours one of the most spectacular sporting events to see live.
Share our passion for cycling, with like minded cyclists and
travellers of all ages and ability, through the mythical Cols, and legendary Alpine passes that have made the greatest race in the world what it is today.
There is plenty of opportunity to see the race go by, cycle along the famous roads and climbs, and enjoy a coffee outside a French village cafe. We are dedicated in taking you to the best parts of the race, as well as having the time to ride parts of the route, and take in the
beautiful and spectacular sights that France has to offer.
