Cycling holidays in France
France is often called the best country in the world for cycling and not just for warm temperatures, fine food and exquisite wine! There is a wonderful respect for cyclists. It’s particularly noticeable as you route from the voies vertes (greenways cycle paths) to a véloroute (a mix of cycle paths and minor roads). Cycling holidays in France include the Loire Valley, Provence and Paris.
