France Bike Tours
Can you imagine a better place to bike? We can’t! Our France bike tours will take you past fairytale castles in the Loire Valley and through fields of lavender in Provence. Picture yourself cycling in France, through ancient villages and through olive groves and prestigious vineyards. Biking in the wine countries of Chablis and Burgundy, following the Route des Grands Crus and visiting famous towns like Chassagne-Montrachet. And embracing the immersive experience offered on our France bike trips, from meetings with local vintners to chats with the chef at Michelin-star restaurants.
Backroads has been traveling to this charming country since 1988, when we hosted our first France bike tour in the gorgeous Loire Valley. Since then, like a healthy vine, we’ve deepened our roots in the country. There’s no better option for a bike trip in France than Backroads, the world’s leader in active travel. Let us show you why we love this country so much on one of our France bike tours.
