France is many worlds in one. It is sophisticated, cultivated, and intellectual. It is historical, the land of legendary kings and queens, of revolutions and intrigue. It is a pastoral fairytale land of bucolic beauty and lifestyles unchanged by time. It is welcoming country farms, colorful local markets, and sophisticated cities.
A bicycle tour through France is a feast for the senses. The unforgettable vibrancy of wines tasted in a centuries-old cellar. The flavor of an aged cheese lingers delightfully in your memory. The tantalizing aroma of freshly baked bread drifts out of a local bakery. Our France bicycling vacations allow you to experience the French countryside in an intimate and relaxed way – at the best value guaranteed!
We've had a local presence in France for over 11 years. From our office in Dijon, we develop and oversee all our France bicycle vacations. We know the best bicycle tour routes to take, and chose the hidden gems of the country — authentic hotels and restaurants, wonderful cycling routes, and the best wine and cheese makers.
You Set the Pace
Remember, all VBT vacations offer you plenty of choice.
If you want to spend the morning by the pool or lingering over breakfast, then
do it! If you prefer to ride in the morning and then get a lift from the van to
the next hotel or village, you can do that too. We also have longer cycling
options for those who enjoy longer rides. We include off-bike discovery
excursion that introduce you to the local culture. Enjoy cooking classes,
