We would highly recommend this trip for the varied scenery, beautiful towns and villages and easy to follow and safe cycling routes. The hotels were very friendly and welcoming and very good value for money. There are some hills to climb but the challenge was worth it the views were stunning.

19-07-2026

Thank you to FBT for a seamless, perfectly organised trip which completely met our expectations. We travelled through many different landscapes and found ourselves in exciting, different places every day.

Cycling, Chateaus and Ice cream. A fabulous trip - even the extreme heatwave didn’t change that. With this weather we adapted and left accomodation early to cycle in the cooler mornings. Chateaus in the afternoons and ice cream at least twice a day. Accomodation was great. Staff were great. Bikes (not electric) did the job - It’s pretty flat cycling. The bags were generally waiting for us when we arrived. We stopped at 7 chateaus along the way and through ourselves into the pool as soon as we could. Perfect.

07-07-2026

Amazing trip. Fantastic organisation - everything worked like clockwork. Beautiful route.

29-06-2026

Every step of the way the team at French Bike Tours were were responsive and happy to help. Our ride east from Bordeaux was a great experience and every part of the trip worked like clockwork. We felt comfortable on our bikes, the App was like a virtual guide and assistance who was with us for the whole journey, and the accommodation was always comfortable and conveniently located. We would not hesitate to recommend French Bike Tours - this is a team who really know France and and what is needed to create very memorable cycling holidays.

20-06-2026

Great trip through the Alsace region of France. We very much enjoyed the route and the accommodations were great!

14-06-2026

We thoroughly enjoyed our cycling adventures with French Bike Tours in the Loire Valley, cycling from Orleans to Angers over 10 days (we added 3 extra night to the beginning, middle and end). The accommodations and food were very good overall, the hybrid bikes were excellent, and the diverse scenery (including rivers, bird wildlife, parks, horses, chateaus and gardens) made our trip always an enjoyable experience. Discovering the relaxed and atmospheric “guingettes” (lovely outdoor resto-pub beer garden-like areas unique to this region) was a joy, especially after a long or hot day cycling enjoying a glass of rose or a cold beer. The people we met at the hotels and restaurants, and other fellow cyclists from all over the world, were so friendly, it made the whole experience a very special and unique holiday.

12-06-2026

We had a wonderful cycling trip through Provence. The route was easy to follow, the bikes were comfortable, and the sights along the way were beautiful. We just wish we had more time in each town.

06-06-2026

I ended up making some changes to my itinerary during the bike trip and FBT was right there to help me. I really appreciated their response and help.

06-06-2026

02-06-2026

Seamless, organized. Good communication. Enjoyable route with pastoral views.

01-06-2026

The biking was easy and mostly on pathways avoiding busy streets which was appreciated. The French countryside and castles of the Loire Valley are beautiful to see. We enjoyed the convenience of booking through a company and having our luggage ready upon arrival!

28-05-2026

We really enjoyed this fantastic trip - one of the best holidays we have had! In particular the history of the Canal du Midi, the Bastide towns and the changing countryside were so interesting and varied. The app directions and organisation were all faultless. The accommodation and the warmth of the hospitality of hosts was superb. Definitely recommended!

22-05-2026

11-05-2026

The overall trip was fine. We were very disappointed in the accommodations as compared to what our traveling friends experienced last year out of Bordeaux. The route and chateaus were beautiful.

08-05-2026

Well organized tour with accommodation and breakfast each day was well up to standard. Would book again!

06-05-2026

Overall a really enjoyable trip and the good weather helped. The scenery particularly on the first two days is beautiful and all the hotels were of a good standard in excellent locations. The app is relatively easy to use and the cycling routes were mainly very good avoiding busy roads. Make sure you apply mosquito repellent especially on days 3 and 4 and there are millions of them.

02-05-2026

18-04-2026

Fantastic four days cycling in the beautiful Rhône valley. We cycled through medieval towns and villages, miles of vineyards and along side the Rhône river and canal, with superb views and stunning wildlife en route. The choice of hotels was excellent, all the staff were really friendly and accomodating and I was able to practice my French too with the locals.Breakfasts were buffet style with a good choice and rooms and beds very comfortable. It was also wonderful to arrive after a long day in the saddle to find your luggage waiting for us. This was our first cycling holiday and now we can't wait to book another!

07-11-2025

It was a wonderful experience. The scenery, the routes, the accommodations, the food and beverages were all great. FBT does a great job and I have recommended them to other cyclists and will continue to do so.

05-11-2025

03-11-2025

Sure. I'd be pleased to promote my experiences of French bike tours ..my friend Charlie has a better assortment.

29-10-2025

We did a five day, four night stay in the Loire Valley. The bikes were excellent. We had a flat during our trip and the provider came and repaired the flat in the middle of our ride. We were thrilled with everything about our trip. The meals, routes, and castles were amazing!

28-10-2025

Our trip was amazing from beginning to end. Such beautiful scenery, topography and food. Loved all the smells and being able to stop at anytime. Highly recommend

28-10-2025

We loved our e-bike tour through picturesque rural Provence. We were two couples travelling together so it was nice to go at our own pace with the app guiding us along the way through small villages, olive groves and colorful vineyards. The hotels were very comfortable and in great locations to explore the beautiful places we stayed. We highly recommend this trip and are so glad we were able to do it!

11-10-2025

Fantastic trip. I can’t recommend it enough. Great accommodations, responsive staff, beautiful countryside and small towns. We’ll be back for more.

09-10-2025

Plan ahead

07-10-2025

This is a wonderfully varied tour. My husband and I were very satisfied with the company, the bikes, the accommodations, the routing. We are over 70 and used tour bikes. There is a lot of elevation gain, and one needs to train for it to enjoy it. The GUIBO app is the best that we have ever used.

06-10-2025

First rate do documentation and easy to use app made self guide tour a breeze. Love cycling in France.

05-10-2025

The Loire Valley is beautiful with many historic chateaux and other buildings, along with easy pretty canal/river trails. It was a joy every day to be cycling down through such beautiful country.

05-10-2025

The booking and all the arrangements were very well organised and every step of the process went without a hitch. The Champagne Region is a fabulous area to bike in with lots of up and downs which are well marked on the travel app. No unexpected surprises. It is worth doing the full extended trip offered which is another opportunity for more route and scenery variety. The Loisium Hotel in Mutigny was fabulous.

05-10-2025

The itinerary was great. Enjoyed the variety of landscapes, villages, and the warmth of the people who we met. Definitely practice on an e-bike. I had to adjust the bike to get a comfortable geometry for me.

23-09-2025

15-09-2025

We were unlucky to have the first 2 days of our cycling trip in heavy rain and wind but we enjoyed most of the days cycling through different terrain - coastal, country, along waterways etc. Luckily the weather improved as we headed south.

15-09-2025

We had a wonderful time on our tour through the Loire valley. It was a great way to see the area close up and at our own pace.

13-09-2025

An excellent tour along the Canal du Midi. The e bikes were comfortable and useful in the headwind. The scenery was varied and there were even some slopes! The hotels and staff were well used to cyclists and provided a good welcome. there was time on most days to explore the towns which enhanced the whole experience. A great trip.

12-09-2025

What a lovely trip we had along the Loire River with French Bike Tours! The routes were beautiful, easy to follow, and with interesting sites along the way. The only thing we might have changed would be to stay an extra day midway through the trip to enjoy the cities and all they had to offer!

12-09-2025

06-09-2025

04-09-2025

We had a wonderful experience riding from Strasbourg to Colmar. The route is peaceful, not difficult and mostly free of cars. The villages along the way are very cute and there were many opportunities to stop at vineyards or places to eat.

03-09-2025

We recently completed an e-bike tour through the Alsace region, and it was a great experience from start to finish. The route was thoughtfully planned, taking us through stunning countryside, vineyards, and one charming town after another. The e-bikes were good quality and made the ride enjoyable and accessible, even on the hillier stretches. Accommodations were comfortable and well-located. We thoroughly enjoyed our trip and would highly recommend this company to anyone looking to explore France in a fun, active, and immersive way.

02-09-2025

Good trip overall although the hotels weren’t great. We encountered a thunderstorm and heavy rain on the 4th day. We enjoyed the lunch restaurant in Ribeauville and the Tunisian restaurant in Colmar.

28-08-2025

A great first cycle tour trip with French Bike Tours - we chose a self-guided holiday using our own bikes, and loved the opportunity to explore a new area of France. Our week included coast and countryside, and a lovely selection of accommodations. Highly recommended!

26-08-2025

Much harder than I expected. Still enjoyable but never again without e-bikes.

25-08-2025

Un esperienza molto gradevole, con la libertà di muoversi senza fretta tra la campagna francese

20-08-2025

This was an introduction to an ebiking holiday for us and we really enjoyed it. Everything went well so we feel confident to do it again - maybe even to try the tour with luggage transfer (rather than stay 4 nights in one hotel). Top notes from us - the e-bike battery was great, the phone battery needed a booster pack and we definitely needed padded shorts!

19-08-2025

Voyage immersif dans la magnifique nature de la vallée de la Loire. La région regorge de pistes cyclables qui traversent des bois, bordent des rivières, traversent des villages. C'était une belle visite, nous nous sommes sentis en sécurité et soutenus.

08-08-2025

Everything was perfectly organised by French Bike Tours - directions, hotels, bike hire arragements. I would not hesitate to book another holiday with them again!

31-07-2025

This was a well organised and lovely trip ; there was plenty of variety through villages and open countyside, seaside and substantial towns. The daily distances were comfortable the accommodation was mostly very good and the hired ebikes were excellent. We’d highly recommend it.

29-07-2025

Fantastic bike tour through the Vendee, everything was as described , hotels were all centrally located and the hire e-bikes were of good quality and easy to use.

14-07-2025

I was in love with the French language since I was a student but apart from visiting Paris I have never been to the country. The trip to Provance was a dream come true. Not only did I travel by bike but also had the opportunity to see so many beautiful villages and towns dated mostly from the ancient Rome era on my way. Thanks to the app provided I did not got lost even once. The route was empty, we hardly met a car or a person during the day. In the evening however we enjoyed great meals in the small, picturesque restaurants. I also indulged myself in the tarte l’apricote in almost every bakery recommended by the app. The trip was perfectly organised by French Bike’s and it went smoothly without any problems what so ever for which I am really thankful to all people involved.

12-07-2025

We had a great trip. This was our second trip with FBT and would happily recommend there tours to anyone. This trip was a mixture of coastal, marshes and vineyards routes. We loved La Rochelle (Harbour and Shopping), Rochefort (town), Traemblade (Seafood), Royan (Beach) and Marguax. All in all a very enjoyable holiday. Thank you.

12-07-2025

Trip gave the opportunity to see the real, rural France. Good variety of cycling, some of it challenging, but generally on good tracks. Photos already sent via email.

12-07-2025

The Alsace tour was spectacular! The views were incredible. Thanks to French Bike Tours our trip went without any hiccups, from picking up our bikes to the luggage transfer, accommodation and guided route our trip was faultless! My partner and I had the best experience and hope to do another trip in the near future with French Bike Tours!

02-07-2025

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!

02-07-2025

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. Sounds like a lot of complaints, but the tour was well worth it for the countryside seen, routes and accommodation.

25-06-2025

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. One of the beautiful towns encountered was Pornic, set on its canal which gently flows out to the Atlantic (see picture).

24-06-2025

23-06-2025

17-06-2025

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!

16-06-2025

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.

10-06-2025

07-06-2025

Good biking roads and stunning nature.

30-05-2025

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. If worried about the effort book an ebike.

25-05-2025

17-05-2025

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. It was great to have the app to point us towards places of interest along the way. The accommodations were fabulous and we look forward to our next trip.

12-05-2025

Easy cycling through beautiful countryside. The fields were full of flaxseed, rape, red clover and poppies. Still plenty of wild flowers in late April. Some quite long stretches away from the river. We loved the architecture in the towns and the chateau’s were stunning. Didn’t have time to look inside any. Found some very lovely and unusual places to eat and drink.

25-04-2025

Great fun, well organised and a fabulous opportunity to enjoy the amazing French countryside.

15-10-2024

The Alsace wine route (EuroVelo route 5) was a great introduction to this region, the villages and towns of the area are very picturesque and made for a great 3 days cycling, we chose e-bikes as it is a hilly area, and made for a leisurely experience. Even though we didn't have hot and sunny weather in October it didn't detract from the enjoyment of the bike trip.

13-10-2024

We had a wonderful time on our ride from Bordeaux to Sete. The bikes were very comfortable and sturdy; the hotels were very nice and atmospheric; and the level of planning and response from French Bike Tours was way beyond our expectations. We especially appreciated the excellent GPX guides which made everything easier. We are in our early 70s and hauled our own gear with our own panniers. We’d highly recommend this company and this trip to anyone, though next time I will ride an ebike!

10-10-2024

Well organized and designed trip with great accomodation in historic parts of towns.

07-10-2024

We did three tours this summer with FBTs. Brittany, Provence and Alsace. The routes through Brittany and Alsace were absolutely beautiful and the accomodation was great at all three. We have recommended FBTs to so many people for the service, the value and the incredible holiday that we had

07-10-2024

The accommodations were lovely, tge route was straight forward and tge bikes were very comfortable.

05-10-2024

days of cycling from Bordeaux to Toulouse, the changing scenery was a source of delight and wonder. We started the journey on a rail trail then cycled among hills of vineyards and distant towns and villages. Midway through the 2nd day we reached the canal, and cycled along the FLAT terrain for the remainder of our journey. The canal locks are an engineering marvel though we witnessed only 1 in action. The region is so fertile & green, we passed by fields of sunflowers and corn, apple and plum trees and kiwifruit. Finding the local cafe for a coffee break became a ritual, and we really enjoyed sitting down to the French cuisine at the end of each day.

26-09-2024

Well-organised accommodation and luggage transportation. Route planning, in the main, was good and bike quality overall was good,

20-09-2024

09-09-2024

I had a great holiday cycling along the Canal du Midi. Although I booked at quite short notice the French Bike Tours team worked hard to put together an itinerary that exactly met my needs. Everything went smoothly and, based on my recent experience, I highly recommend French Bike Tours for anyone looking for a self-guided cycling holiday.

01-09-2024

The beautiful Loire cycle routes are great for a relaxed cycle holiday with lots to see along the way. The whole trip was organised very well and went smoothly. In the main the comfort plus accommodation was lovely and it was great to have a pool to swim in at each hotel after a days cycling.

30-08-2024

We had such a great time The accomodations were fantastic. The service from FBTs was top notch. There was a lot of variety in the scenery and we appreciated that most riding was on trails or quiet roads

26-08-2024

Very well organised trip. Excellent path well signed and mostly very good surface. Comfortable e-bikes and good accommodation - not posh but good value.

20-08-2024

This was my first cycling holiday in France. I was very happy with the information provided in advance, the bikes, accomodation and the choice of route. This cycling holiday was a beautiful route, with charming villages, lovely accomodation. The information provided in advance by French Bike Tours was very helpful. There were no problems at all with the bikes, luggage transfers or the Guibo app.

14-08-2024

09-08-2024

FBT offer an Active vacation, experiencing all that Southern France has to offer. Highlights being, Lyon - culinary , Vienne - Jazz Festival, Avignon - Palais de Pape, Arles - Van Gogh, Chateauneuf- du- Pape - Brotte wine museum and Tour de France stage 5/16. Tour was as described, booking flawless and outstanding staff. Cycling routes mostly on ViaRhona network, centrally located accommodations, efficient luggage transfers and adequate bike rentals. We were very pleased and having done 11 cycling tours in Europe , FBT is as good as you get. Thanks to the three M’s at FBT

06-08-2024

We had a wonderful trip cycling along the via Rhona in Provence. Arles and Avignon were real highlights with excellent hotels. The routes we cycled on were quiet and safe , the app made the it really easy to find points of interest but importantly places to stop and refresh.

16-07-2024

Es war ein kulinarisches und kulturelles Highlight entlang der Rhone zu fahren. Die Menschen waren sehr freundlich, hilfsbereit und aufgeschlossen. Es gab viel zu sehen und zu entdecken. Gut, dass wir für Lyon 2 Tage eingeplant hatten.

16-07-2024

09-07-2024

Had a great biking holiday. The routes were very good on very quiet roads and plenty to see and do. The Navigation App was vert good.

08-07-2024

Riding along the canal was beautiful even in the rain, but even better when the sun came out! Luckily we were able to fix the puncture we had. Meeting others along the way was great. Everything was well organised, and there were no hiccups. A great experience!

24-06-2024

Would have liked a more detailed/ description of the trip before paying. Cycling through more villages would have been more interesting too.

20-06-2024

Beautiful weather, friendly people everywhere, old charming hotels and ample breakfasts. Sadly, too many times the route was on roads through areas with little view of the river or wildlife.

19-06-2024

Wonderful landscapes, cities and nice smaller places. Great, friendly and excellent support by email and phone by the travel advisor.

18-06-2024

It's a wonderful route along the Rhone river for 300 miles, a lot of fun and a lot of nice towns and good food.

18-06-2024

14-06-2024

We took the express train to Strasbourg where we enjoyed our hotel included in the tour package. Our day one ride was perfect, and day two even better. Each town that we visited we enjoyed more than the last, and the riding got better and we progressed as well. We encountered no issues and had a very enjoyable experience.

13-06-2024

13-06-2024

A relaxing, beautiful, ride through the country of Southern France. There were some hills on the first day, but for the most part, the rest of the tour is flat and hugs the Rhone river. The majority of the tour is on paved bike trails, which is really nice. We chose the comfort plus option, and most of the places were comfortable. Not all of them have AC but we didn't need it. The one caveat important to know is that most of the hotels will not let you enter before 4 PM or 5. And that is a hard and fast rule. So take your time riding and stop often along the way.The provided E-bike and the touring app were great. Didn't get lost once!

12-06-2024

The bike trip was very enjoyable with the cycle route ranging from coastal cycle paths, green ways and quiet country roads passing through pretty villages. The maps and App instructions were easy to follow.

03-06-2024

02-06-2024

We embarked on a very pleasurable holiday adventure, traversing picturesque landscapes with splendid hire bicycles—one standard, the other electric. Each day began with a delightful buffet breakfast, setting the perfect tone for our explorations. Our journey commenced in the stunning 'La Ville Rose' of Toulouse, where a great cycle path guided us to our first destination, the charming town of Castelnaudary, with its ‘Grand Bassin’ and our accommodation the enchanting old judges' residency, "Les Ordalies". Despite encountering a shift to dirt roads and gravel on the second day, the scenic canal, majestic plane trees, and idyllic countryside vistas more than compensated for the rough terrain. A short detour led us to the circular village of Bram, where we meandered through its quaint streets to reach the historic church. Our day culminated in the UNESCO-listed city of Carcassonne, where we had time to tour the medieval castle and enjoyed dinner at 'La Place de Vieille Ville'. One of the highlights was enjoying breakfast outside on the terrace of Hotel du Chateau, looking up to the walled city. Despite grappling with challenging headwinds and the sad sight of plane trees stumps the following day, we anticipate returning in fifty years to cycle beneath the replanted oak trees. Our route led us to the small town of Olonzac for the night, where we were warmly welcomed. Post-Olonzac, the cycle path significantly improved, albeit with occasional detours due to ongoing path work. The ancient city of Breziers greeted us with a decent along its nine impressive locks with views to the picturesque River Orb below. Perched atop a small hill, Breziers has charming streets with numerous terraces, and the Saint-Nazaire Cathedral is certainly worth a visit. The final leg of our journey was a leisurely cycle ride into Sete, with a substantial portion of the route tracing the coastline, offering ample opportunities to pause for refreshments at seaside terraces. Despite a slight detour prompted by the arrival of the Olympic torch, we arrived promptly at our hotel, the charming and eccentric Le Grand Hotel, where we would be staying for the next two nights. With an extra day in Sete, amidst rain showers, we were able to relax, unwind and reflect, on our unforgettable cycling tour.

31-05-2024

The tour around this part of Provence took us to some wonderful villages and towns, and through some delightful countryside, mostly on quieter roads and lanes. The weather was perfect for cycling. And the chance to sample the local food and wines was an added bonus.

31-05-2024

We spent a month cycling through Loire Valley and Canals Garonne and Midi. Our self guided tour was prepared to include personal requests. During the organisation period we experienced helpful advice and excellent communication. Hire bikes were of excellent quality and comfortable to ride. Hotels were usually of high standard, always in good locations to explore old towns etc and in most cases breakfasts were more than adequate. Route instructions were thorough, provided in an app, printed booklet and gpx files for uploading onto our own device. Support was available during the ride using WhatsApp. While the weather was not in our favour, making some of the route unrideable, we thoroughly enjoyed the time and appreciated the preparation done for us.

27-05-2024

17-05-2024

Beautiful views along the ride, quaint mágical Towns to visit and stay. Would do another ride similar....longer though! 3 days was not enough!

13-05-2024

We had a great time, people were nice, drivers were respectful, weather was mostly good.

What a great trip! Cycling through fields and small villages was everything I hoped for. We used e-bikes, which helped with the hills. The route map was easy to use and though we took a few wrong turns we were never lost. I would recommend to anyone, and can’t wait to book another trip.

08-04-2024

French Bike Tours did an amazing job of keeping our route off major roads, and on beautiful backroads, with lots of variety and charm along the way.

18-12-2023

Off the main roads biking

Seamless fun as FBT arrangements were spot-on. All we had to do was pedal and enjoy.

29-10-2023

This trip was absolutely amazing. It was everything that we hoped it would be. A friend and I biked through the most beautiful country side, saw amazing Roman ruins, adorable little villages, and had fabulous food and wine the whole way. The route was a fun and surprising mix of small roads and paths that kept us out of traffic and seeing a great mix of pastoral, woodland, and village scenery. ❤️🚴🍷🥖

What I got out of the trip was renewed confidence in my French language skills (several people were surprised when I told them I was American, since "Americans don't speak French like that!") and in my ability to resolve problems as they occurred. Some of the views were stunning, and many places (like the crumbling aqueduct) were filled with ghosts who had lived there over the centuries. All in all, it was a very satisfying trip, but I am very happy to be home.

Carcassonne accommodation was a standout. Great setting, food and a lovely couple who ran it.

One bike had two flat tyres along the trip on the second day (Bike No 27). The Two punctured tubes are in the side panniers of one of the bikes. This bike may also have a slow flat tyre on the front wheel (we did not change this tyre). Repair supplies provided by the bike supplier (included with the bikes) enabled us to fix them ourselves without too much delay, which we found very helpful.

We really enjoyed our cycling experience in the Alpilles. Beautiful countryside, cosy hotels with relaxing pools, breathtaking scenery and villages rich in culture. If you want to immerse yourself in the world of Van Gogh and cycle among olive trees, lavender fields and vineyards. This is your trip.

11-09-2023

Beautiful countryside. Delicious wines. A great workout.

Scenery Toulouse to Castelnaudary was gorgeous. Scenery Castelnaudary to Carcassonne not as nice.

05-09-2023

We rode our bikes through beautiful varied landscapes with lots of altimeters; We visited beautiful medieval villages and were able to meet and talk with other pilgrims on foot.

Day 1 scenery was spectacular. Scenery Toulouse to Castelnaudary was gorgeous. Scenery Castelnaudary to Carcassonne not as nice as day before. Marije was wonderful to work with, thank you!

Riding through the beautiful towns of the Alsace region on a bicycle was an amazing experience that I could not have appreciated by car. I'll never forget the stunning view of the church in Obernai as I rode down the hill and into town, truly magical. I'm so grateful for French Bike Tours for putting this trip together on relatively short notice. Merci!

The tartiflette we had in Seyssel was amazing, and we did go swimming in the river before Perouges.

An amazing trip through beautiful landscapes filled with history and beauty. Most of the way we cycled on small paths through fields, olive grooves and forests, which we would never have been able to find on our own had we only used a normal map! We loved the hotels which all had a unique charm and personal touch!

We had a great time. Nice ocean views. We loved having fresh seafood for lunch and/or dinner along the coast.

The chain ferry on the trip to Angers was hilarious!!

Everything was just as described in the materials. There were no bad surprises only good ones!

Along the canals this was a great way to see some of the most beautiful parts of France at a slow pace and surrounded by nature. In the cities it was more difficult to navigate and we looked forward to getting back into the countryside. Carcassonne was a highlight for us and we recommend spending a couple of nights there.

Five days of easy cycling on e bikes in beautiful countryside. Guibo app very easy to use. Love the fact that we went through many small villages during the daily trips which allowed us to stop for coffee/lunch. One leg had no towns to stop in (Baux de Provence to St. Remy).

The experience of being in the outdoors cycling along bike paths and country roads with beautiful scenery was pure pleasure (even though we had rain 3/4 days). We passed through several small villages every day, often stopping to enjoy a pastry at the local patisserie. Stopping to visit a chateau gave nice cycling breaks.

Bordeaux. A magnificent city. Bike friendly with great attractions .

Bike touring through the Alsace region was spectacular! Winding vineyard paths were a peaceful route through the small towns steeped in history, culture and degustation. We wish we could have stayed longer!

Each day we visited a different castle on a different route. They were each unique. In addition, we liked the variety of country and villages we biked through.

I believe it will be hard to find a better bike ride through France. It had it all. I recommend going the full distance from Le Puy to St Jean. The terrain, ancient towns and villages, and the churches were breath-taking. The trails taken were well thought out so to keep busy roads and rough paths at a minimum. The lodging and food were the other half of what made for a great experience. I felt like I was immersed in the culture of the French people and the region I was in for that day. I was made to feel very welcome even though I don't speak hardly any French.

Our family of four had a total blast riding through summer in Provence, the accommodation and bike tours service was excellent. A trip we will always remember.

In fact, everything was according to plan, the GPS really helped. I would not recommend going to France in the month of August, it seems that everything is closed, or at least on the routes and places we were.

My cycling tour along the Viarhôna from Geneva to Arash was everything I hoped it would be! I experienced the beautiful french landscape, great accommodations and many interesting cities. I would definitely book with this company again.

Each town and village visited offered something diffferent and interesting.

Hard to pick just one - great views, Chateau de Colmartin, riding through the longest cycling tunnel in Europe, but mostly the great hospitality (often totally unexpected gestures), & the delicious local foods & wines. We were amazed that 2 grapes (Pinot Noir & Chardonnay), could produce such great variety in both regions. Lastly, we loved Cassis with Cremmant & had these as apéritifs many nights before dinners.

It's hard to say which parts were the best we had 7 days of great adventures, if your looking for a great cycling holiday you can't go wrong

Me, my bicycle and the eager anticipation of the beautiful back roads of Provence. I found myself over the course of several days discovering new places, decadent foods and some of the most beautiful sites on the planet. Each twist and turn in the road was an opportunity to explore and reveal a new treasure of an experience or to meet the characters of the local towns. A castle on the hill, an iridescent angel in a sunlit graveyard, a meal in front of a Roman amphitheater, a rowdy breakfast room full of students visiting Arles!!!, an excited puppy at the hotel in Tarascon licking my face, a warm coffee and pastry on a cool morning ride, the sweat of great memories crystallizing on my face as I reach another milestone. What a ride.

Great nature, great villages and very fun biking.

Une expérience unique sur la côte Atlantique ! Nous sommes parties avec une amie à la découverte de la côte Atlantique à vélo durant 8 jours. Nous avons pu découvrir le magnifique port de La Rochelle, les célèbres vignobles du Médoc et nous avons terminé notre voyage par la visite de Bordeaux ! Tout a été organisé par l’équipe de French Bike Tours, la seule chose que nous avons eue à penser était de pédaler et de découvrir ! Je recommande French Bike Tours, une équipe à votre écoute et des voyages de qualité. Manon

We had a wonderful 5 days of biking with FBT. The attention to detail from the time we made our first inquiries until the end of the trip was top notch. We asked to modify our tour from their standard tour and those changes were readily accommodated. The bike delivery/pick-up were smooth as well as all the luggage transfers. I highly recommend FBT

It was beautiful ride through the country side and along rivers. A couple days were challenging due to a lot of hills (constant up and down). Riding through all the villages was great.
