Traveling by bike, the ideal trip

The first benefit of a bike vacation is that it gives us a break from our busy daily lives. Pedaling, even at speed, usually means slowing down. It means taking the time to really look at the landscape, to see it change, and to feel a magical sense of freedom. It’s breathing deeply, clearing your mind. It’s pedaling, which is good for your heart and your body. It’s also about choosing a sustainable journey that respects others. It’s about surprises along the way, encouragement received, and encounters that create unforgettable memories.

France, the ideal country to travel by bike

The country of the Tour de France has established itself as the world’s second most popular destination for cycling tourism, just behind Germany. This type of itinerant vacation has exploded and the number of people traveling by bicycle is growing by about 20% a year (source: Vélo et Territoire).

France is a playground unique in the world, with an exceptional geographical diversity for such a large territory, between rivers, mountains and more than 2,000 km of coastline.

In addition to the great mountain passes made famous by the Tour de France, France now has 20,000 km of cycle paths and greenways. Cycle tourism is a real priority for the authorities, which are encouraging the development of infrastructures and services to offer the best possible welcome to cyclists.
