France General Travel Information

Where to go cycling in France

Top 5 Bike Tours in France

Travel tips for French Biking Tours

What to pack when cycling in France?

When cycling in France, pack essentials like comfortable cycling clothes, including shorts, jerseys/moisture-wicking shirts, and weather-appropriate layers. If you are bringing your own bike, make sure it is in proper working condition and capable of handling the terrain. Navigation tools like maps or a GPS will be provided, but make sure to bring a charged mobile phone. If you choose to opt out of a luggage transfer service, be sure to utilize lightweight luggage solutions like panniers or saddlebags. Include off-bike attire, toiletries, and identification. Be mindful of the weather and adjust your packing list accordingly for a comfortable and enjoyable cycling experience.

Are luggage transfers available on cycling tours in France?

Luggage transfers are available on most cycling tours in France, allowing for a stress-free way to experience the country by bike. In some regions or stages of a tour, luggage transfers may not be possible due to logistical difficulties.

How long do I need for a cycling tour in France?

The length of time needed for a cycling tour in France will depend entirely upon the route that you want to explore. Generally speaking, 10Adventures cycling tours include a night before the tour and a night after, allowing some extra time to rest. You can always add rest days throughout as well, so if you plan on spending 7 days cycling in France, consider a 10 day total trip length.

Are there family-friendly cycling tours in France?

Some longer cycling routes or those that pass through rugged terrain might not be suitable for children, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t possible to enjoy a family-friendly cycling holiday in France. There are family-friendly cycling tours to explore, particularly bike tours in Northern and Central France where the terrain is more relaxed.

What are the accommodations when cycling in France?

The types of accommodations when cycling in France can generally be broken down into two categories: hotels and guesthouses. Due to the fact that most cycle routes require more infrastructure than trekking routes, there is a better chance of hotels being the standard on bike tours in France. With that being said, more remote areas may have guest houses as the only form of accommodation.

Can I do a self-guided bike tour in France?

For many travellers, self-guided bike tours in France are the ideal way to experience the countryside, as they allow you to move at your own pace as you cycle between point A and point B. This level of freedom allows you to fully immerse yourself in the local culture, making for a more authentic travel experience when cycling in France.

Can I do a guided bike tour in France?

While self-guided tours are more popular, it is also possible to arrange a guided bike tour in France for certain routes. Doing so will allow travellers to explore unfamiliar/difficult to navigate areas, or will simply provide an extra degree of structure to the trip. Whether you choose to join a scheduled departure or organize a private guided tour for just your party, a guided bike tour in France is a great way to explore.

Can I rent an e-bike for a cycling tour in France?

It is possible to rent an e-bike for many cycling tours in France, provided that the infrastructure exists along the route to enable charging and storage. Terrain can also play a factor, as rugged landscapes might not be ideal for a more cumbersome e-bike. Ask a 10Adventures travel specialist if it is possible to rent an e-bike for your desired cycling tour in France.
