Read our reviews from all our self-guided cycling trips in France

We thoroughly enjoyed the Loire Valley from Orleans to Saumur with the beautiful country side of farms, vineyards and castles! With the extreme heat in June we had to rely on the E-bikes more than usual later in the day however for the most part we cycled on Eco. We also, took a side route to Chenonceau castle which added 30km to the 62 km trip to Villandry which made it a long day but worth the castle tour! [...]

We had a lovely trip through Brittany on this tour, and would recommend every aspect of it with these two caveats: The tour is worth it without visiting an island, but if you want to do the island visit, check with the ferry companies before you book, as they may not be available on the day you want to go. Secondly, I am a 72 year old but reasonably fit woman, but I could not push my ebike (no walk-assist) up the recommended cobblestone route to the hotel in Dinan. My husband had to help me. [...]

A beautiful trip, initially along the end of the Loire Valley and then down the Atlantic Coast. Stunning countryside and sea vistas. FBT did a great job structuring this tour and ensuring it works really well. [...]

Very well organised with decent accommodation. The GPS apps for both tours were particularly good. Unfortunate that we were unable to meet up with Melanie in Monpazier at end of second tour to thank her personally, but it was her day off! [...]

The Via Rhona is a great bike route and easy to follow. The river and its environment is very stimulating with a great sense of history and industry.

A self guided tour is great way to see some of the French countryside and history. Taking a tour takes care of accommodation and moving your luggage transfers and very reliable. Its fun to arrive at a new destination with a surprise location and hotel. [...]

What a fantastic trip we had down the canal du Garonne. The scenery was beautiful, we got to ride through vineyards, ancient towns, and sampled wonderful food. Everyday had something new to explore. [...]

Easy cycling through beautiful countryside. The fields were full of flaxseed, rape, red clover and poppies. Still plenty of wild flowers in late April. [...]
