Food and Wine Biking Tours in France

France's food and wine regions were made for slow riding, and this collection covers two of the best. Cycling the Vineyards of Bordeaux takes you through the Medoc and Saint-Emilion on quiet lanes between chateaux, with tastings built into the itinerary. Provence's markets will fill your saddle bags with treats, perfect for a shady picnic along the way.

Cycling the Canal du Midi follows an historic shaded towpath from Toulouse toward the Mediterranean, past locks and cafes and it's one of our most popular routes.

All France cycling trips include hand picked accommodations, breakfast, luggage transfers and daily route notes and mapping via our navigation app, so the only real decision each morning is where to stop for lunch.
