Romantic hilltop villages, sun-soaked vineyards, picturesque castles, exquisite wines, and delicious gastronomic cuisine await you on an independent France cycling tour with Macs Adventure. With France playing host to the world's most prestigious cycling race, it comes as no surprise that its unspoilt countryside is a haven for new and curious cyclists every year.
Don't worry, though. You don't need to be lycra-clad or climb a never-ending col in the Pyrenees to have a meaningful experience. We offer a variety of gentle self-guided cycling holidays that let you carve your own "Tour de France". Choose from a great selection of tours that enable you to discover one of the many distinctive regions it has to offer! Or why not live like a local in Provence? Buy some cheese and bread at the village market for an afternoon picnic as you cycle through its lavender-scented planes.
For the wine enthusiasts, head to Bordeaux and cycle through world-renowned wine estates and elegant wine villages. Or enjoy refreshing glasses of white wine from wine-sellers on the banks of the Canal du Midi. Are you unsure if your legs are up to tackling some of our more moderately graded tours in Dordogne or Provence?
Do you want to make your easy-going France cycling holiday a little bit easier? Then opting for E-Bike hire is for you. By no means "cheating", E-Bikes are commonly being coined as the "great equaliser" in cycling, as you will still pedal the same distance, but the electric rechargeable battery is there to give you a boost when you need it.
They are an excellent tool for helping you feel confident on some long days or steeper sections that you may otherwise feel unsure about. It's possible to upgrade to an E-Bike on a lmost all our cycling tours in France. However, if it's a tailored E-Biking experience you are looking for, then check out our E-Biking in Provence tour! Top Tip: Further to the apparent benefits, E-Bikes are actually just great fun to ride, especially on the quiet country lanes in France - that extra zip of pedal power almost takes you back to being a kid again!
