BIKE FRANCE
"I feel like I just lived in a 'fairy tale' in a way, it was a life changing vacation,"  Kate G. Madison WI
If you like fantastic cycling, awe-inspiring views and delicious cuisine, then you’ll easily fall-in-love with France. Come along with us and immerse yourself in cultures that will totally consume all of your senses. Discover the French way of life, by bike.

We have selected a wonderful region, which are superb for cycling. Traveling by bicycle is simple, carefree, and best way to absorb the surrounding culture. Experience life at a slower more relaxed pace, from the seat of your bicycle. Enjoy the aroma of freshly baked baguettes or the colorful fields of sunflowers as you pedal from village to village. It’s easy to hop off your bicycle, pop into the local bakery to sample mouthwatering pastries, or browse at a bustling outdoor market.

Our tours are for the independent and adventurous cyclists. We offer a recommended route each day but you are free to go at your own pace and explore as much as you like. Along with your breakfast each morning, we serve up a daily briefing to overview the day’s activities. When you are out riding, we move your luggage to the next overnight hotel, but if you need us, we are just a phone call away. We’ll spend at least two nights in each overnight town, which gives you more time to see the sights and unwind. This makes for an unrushed flexible itinerary, which is what a European vacation is all about! On your rest days you can, take a break from cycling, sleep-in late, stroll through quaint village streets, see the local sites, shop or just relax – the choice is yours!

"You should call it 'The bakery to bakery tour'," Howard T. Middleton WI

We'd love to meet you and we hope you can bike with us soon.
Your hosts,
Eric and Kathy

"I liked the independence that we had on the trip. We had free time to be together as a family and share the experiences at our own pace. the group dinners were great, two (one at the beginning and one at the end), was the perfect number. Having everyone meet at breakfast was great; we could share experiences, laugh over unexpected surprises from the day before and talk about itinerates for the day.
I appreciated the positive attitudes of Kathy and Eric They obviously love their jobs and their enthusiasm at the beginning of each day was a real encouragement.
The hotels were great. They were clean, well run, friendly staff and had character.
We had so much fun on the trip that the family is ready to sign up for another trip next year!" Arrietta C. Madison WI
