Discover France
France boasts Old World elegance and stunning natural beauty. From the romantic winding streets of Paris to the redolent lavender fields of Provence and the soaring peaks of the Alps, there’s a dizzying array of breathtaking sights in this iconic destination. With memorable landscapes, cultural riches, and extraordinary historical sights on the itinerary, VBT’s bike tours in France are enchanting and invigorating.
The French countryside is varied—but invariably beautiful. Nestled in the rolling hills of the Alsace Wine Route are stunningly preserved medieval villages and historic vineyards producing world-class wines. Normandy and Brittany offer breathtaking shorelines heavy with historical significance. The Loire Valley features magnificent castles with manicured gardens, and the soaring Alpilles provide an arresting backdrop to the cobbled streets of Provençal villages.
Throughout the many regions of France, you’ll revel in the warmth of the French people, whether chatting with locals over fresh produce in a charming marché, playing a light-hearted game of petanque in Burgundy, or sampling fresh huîtres, or oysters, with a local fisherman in Cancale.
No bike tour in France would be complete without a deep dive into the country’s exquisite cuisine. From the simple pleasure of a crusty baguette from the boulangerie to a gourmet meal in a Michelin-starred restaurant and champagne tastings at ancient vineyards, foodies will discover endless culinary delights.
Country Highlights
- Be tempted by the smells, flavors, and goods of the sprawling Vaison la Romaine outdoor market.
- Visit spectacular Mont Saint-Michel, best known for its well-preserved Benedictine abbey.
- Pass renowned wine villages on a roll through the world-famous vineyards of the Côte de Beaune.
- Imagine the colorful history of King Henry II and Catherine de Medici at the Château de Chenonceau.
French Cuisine
Food and wine are central to the French way of life. Meals are lengthy and purposeful, with plenty of time for socializing and savouring. From buttery croissants and gooey pain au chocolat from the corner boulangerie to markets overflowing with local produce and artisan cheeses to Michelin-starred restaurants with world-class wine lists, you’ll experience French culture with every bite you take here.
Famous Painters
Over the centuries, France has cultivated an incredible art scene and produced an outsized number of revolutionary painters. Throughout France you can see works by the great masters in museums and galleries, as well as the breathtaking settings that inspired them. Monet, Manet, Degas, Rousseau, Gauguin, Cézanne… the list of big names that left huge impacts on the art world throughout history goes on.
Military History
On June 6, 1944, Allied troops landed on the beaches of Normandy to begin a crucial operation to liberate Europe from German military occupation. Today, this storied coastline is a quiet, beautiful reminder of a turbulent past. Travelers with an interest in military history can stand on these sands and visualize the dramatic events that came to pass on D-Day.
Very pleasant riding in mountain valleys & around lakes with a nice mix of city and village life. I enjoyed the longer miles. Hotels for the most part were very good. Food included in the tour varied from OK to great.
Switzerland & France: Lake Geneva, Annecy & Valleys of the Alps
This was a great trip. Beautiful rides every day on great biking paths. The guides, Cedric and Sarah, were two of the best. Knowledgeable about each of the towns we visited and always friendly and patient. Best ever.
