Bed by the Med – Independent (Deposit)

In a little corner of Provence, this great cycling tour holds a huge variety of experiences and, lets you explore the delights of the Côte d’Azur in a gentle and relaxing way. Often just tucked behind the glitz and the glamour, you will have plenty of opportunities to dip into the Riviera lifestyle or you can choose to glide by along its lesser known trails.
This part of the Riviera issues some of the international spotlight that can bear down on Cannes, Nice and Monaco but it has some beautiful coastal towns and villages offering a quieter and slightly more gentle pace of life.
Start your holiday by dipping your toes in the sea before beginning your ride along the western end of the French Riviera. Ride alongside the azure water of the Mediterranean an explore the harbours and perching villages of this beautiful part of Provence. Then traverse the Massif des Maures with a more adventurous ride through the green hills just behind the coast.
You can choose to cycle on every day of the tour but there should be time for exploring beautiful villages and even a boat over to explore the island of the Port Cros National Park.
Unwind in a Bed by the Med.

Hidden Provence – Independent (Deposit)

Paris by Pedal Power – Independent (Deposit)

You may never win the Tour de France but, how would you feel cycling down the Champs-Élysées having ridden under your own steam all the way from the sea. Just an overnight sail away, Normandy has the weather to match and even better the best of an English summer, and of course, manages to deliver that with very French aplomb. From the beautiful harbour of Honfleur and heading inland, Haute Normandie is one of France’s great dairy ‘baskets’ and famous for its butter and cheeses, not to mention its fine and more earthy ciders.

Pedal Power to Paris picks its way down quiet lanes of Normandy, gently crossing tributaries of the River Seine, passing through timber-framed villages and, winding through a patchwork of plentiful fields. The tour brings you up to the edge of the Ile de France where you cycle through Louis VI’s 13th Century arch of La Porte de Bretagne before discovering a remarkably rural route right to the heart of capital city. Surprise yourself as you sneak up on Paris.
