Yes, assassins.\u201d That should tell you all that you need to know about this legendary cycle route through the central Pyrenees.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text-md my-6 text-black-400\">During the grueling 19km (12-mile) climb from Luz Saint-Sauveur to the Col du Tourmalet at 2115m (6939ft), you\u2019ll ascend over 1400m (4593ft) at an average angle of 7.39%. At its steepest point, the route climbs at over 10% \u2013 no wonder the climb up to the Col du Tourmalet (and the high-speed descent down) is considered one of the most fearful, yet exciting, stages of the Tour de France race.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text-md my-6 text-black-400\">The route is closed by snow from late October to late spring, but in summer, hundreds of cyclists set out daily to see if they\u2019ve got what it takes to race up and over the highest road pass in the Pyrenees. And whether you pant up over the course of hours or speed like a cheetah to the top, expect to be blown away by the majesty of the high mountain scenery. Yep, this is one of France&#8217;s great cycle routes for a very good reason.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text-md my-6 text-black-400\">When you\u2019ve conquered Tourmalet, consider completing the so-called \u2018Circle of Death\u2019 by riding from the Col de Peyresourde to the Col d\u2019Aubisque, an extra 141km (88 miles).<\/p>\n<figure class=\"my-24 lg:w-[calc(100%+5rem)] lg:-ml-10\"><img src=\"https:\/\/lp-cms-production.imgix.net\/2024-08\/france-JNY26Y-rfe.jpeg?auto=format,compress&#038;q=72&#038;fit=crop\" alt=\"Man on bicycle surrounded by grapevines in autumn colors in Burgundy, France\" width=\"5760\" height=\"3840\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"max-w-full object-contain w-full bg-black-100 \" sizes=\"auto, (min-width: 1200px) 1200px, (min-width: 1024px) 1024px, (min-width: 768px) 768px, (min-width: 640px) 640px, (min-width: 320px) 320px, 100vw\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lp-cms-production.imgix.net\/2024-08\/france-JNY26Y-rfe.jpeg?auto=format,compress&#038;q=72&#038;fit=crop&#038;w=320 320w, https:\/\/lp-cms-production.imgix.net\/2024-08\/france-JNY26Y-rfe.jpeg?auto=format,compress&#038;q=72&#038;fit=crop&#038;w=640 640w, https:\/\/lp-cms-production.imgix.net\/2024-08\/france-JNY26Y-rfe.jpeg?auto=format,compress&#038;q=72&#038;fit=crop&#038;w=768 768w, https:\/\/lp-cms-production.imgix.net\/2024-08\/france-JNY26Y-rfe.jpeg?auto=format,compress&#038;q=72&#038;fit=crop&#038;w=1024 1024w, https:\/\/lp-cms-production.imgix.net\/2024-08\/france-JNY26Y-rfe.jpeg?auto=format,compress&#038;q=72&#038;fit=crop&#038;w=1200 1200w\"><figcaption class=\"mt-2 text-right text-xs\">Pedaling from vineyard to vineyard is the perfect way to explore Burgundy \u00a9 Garden Photo World \/ Alamy Stock Photo<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2 class=\"article-h2 mb-6 mt-16 text-black\">Burgundy Vineyard Route<\/h2>\n<p class=\"text-md my-6 text-black-400\"><strong>Best for: Gourmands, oenophiles and lovers of the good life<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"text-md my-6 text-black-400\">Wine, gently rolling countryside carpeted in vineyards, pleasing bike paths, and yet more wine \u2013 what\u2019s not to like about the Voie de Vignes (Way of the Vines)? Stretching for 20km (12 miles) between Beaune and Santenay in the Burgundy region of eastern France, this route is all about the gift of the grape.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text-md my-6 text-black-400\">Start your ride at the \u00c9cole des Vins de Bourgogne (Bourgogne Wine School) where tastings are available \u2013 just don\u2019t taste too much, as drink-driving rules also apply to cyclists! Then roll your way towards the Ch\u00e2teau de Pommard and the Ch\u00e2teau de Meursault, both of which produce acclaimed wines (okay go on then, one more quick taste\u2026), before wobbling your way into Santenay.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"article-h2 mb-6 mt-16 text-black\">Exploring the \u00cele de R\u00e9<\/h2>\n<p class=\"text-md my-6 text-black-400\"><strong>Best for: Families and occasional cyclers<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><astro-ad data-container-id=\"gpt-ad-264013259375\" data-path=\"\/9885583\/LonelyPlanet.com\/articles\/in-content-middle\" data-slot-size=\"[[970,250],[970,90],[728,90],[300,250],[320,50],[1,1]]\" data-targeting='{\"url\":\"best-places-to-cycle-holiday-france\",\"destination\":\"France\",\"continent\":\"Europe\",\"country\":\"France\"}' data-size-mapping='[{\"viewport\":[0,0],\"slot\":[]},{\"viewport\":[300,0],\"slot\":[[300,250],[320,50],[1,1]]},{\"viewport\":[768,0],\"slot\":[[728,90],[300,250],[1,1]]},{\"viewport\":[960,0],\"slot\":[[970,250],[970,90],[728,90],[300,250],[1,1]]}]' data-debug=\"false\" class=\"block gpt-ad my-24 lg:w-[calc(100%+5rem)] lg:-ml-10\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"p-3 text-xs leading-none tracking-wide text-center uppercase text-black-400\">\nAdvertisement\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"gpt-ad-264013259375\" style=\"min-height:min-content\">   <\/div>\n<p>  <\/astro-ad><\/p>\n<p class=\"text-md my-6 text-black-400\">Caressed by salty sea winds, and washed through with oceanic sunlight, the almost pancake-flat \u00cele de R\u00e9 lies a short way offshore from La Rochelle on the central Atlantic coast, and it was tailor-made for easy family bike rides. A network of well-maintained cycle paths scribble across the island \u2013 any route you chose is pretty much guaranteed to include lazy cycling alongside long, sandy beaches, through beautiful villages and past small seaside towns where you can stop to refuel with a seafood lunch.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text-md my-6 text-black-400\">There\u2019s nothing remotely grueling about cycling around the \u00cele de R\u00e9. Instead, it\u2019s simple pleasure after simple pleasure. Although there are numerous routes around the island, we highly recommend the loop from the tiny village of Ars-en-R\u00e9, up to the dramatic lookout point Phare des Baleines (Lighthouse of the Whales) and then east to the saltpans (the island is famed for its salt) around Les Ports-en-R\u00e9.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"my-24 lg:w-[calc(100%+5rem)] lg:-ml-10\"><img src=\"https:\/\/lp-cms-production.imgix.net\/2024-08\/France-Provence-Photo-and-Co-GettyImages-200276637-001-RFE.jpg?auto=format,compress&#038;q=72&#038;fit=crop\" alt=\"A family cycling in the countryside in Provence, France\" width=\"4997\" height=\"3325\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"max-w-full object-contain w-full bg-black-100 \" sizes=\"auto, (min-width: 1200px) 1200px, (min-width: 1024px) 1024px, (min-width: 768px) 768px, (min-width: 640px) 640px, (min-width: 320px) 320px, 100vw\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lp-cms-production.imgix.net\/2024-08\/France-Provence-Photo-and-Co-GettyImages-200276637-001-RFE.jpg?auto=format,compress&#038;q=72&#038;fit=crop&#038;w=320 320w, https:\/\/lp-cms-production.imgix.net\/2024-08\/France-Provence-Photo-and-Co-GettyImages-200276637-001-RFE.jpg?auto=format,compress&#038;q=72&#038;fit=crop&#038;w=640 640w, https:\/\/lp-cms-production.imgix.net\/2024-08\/France-Provence-Photo-and-Co-GettyImages-200276637-001-RFE.jpg?auto=format,compress&#038;q=72&#038;fit=crop&#038;w=768 768w, https:\/\/lp-cms-production.imgix.net\/2024-08\/France-Provence-Photo-and-Co-GettyImages-200276637-001-RFE.jpg?auto=format,compress&#038;q=72&#038;fit=crop&#038;w=1024 1024w, https:\/\/lp-cms-production.imgix.net\/2024-08\/France-Provence-Photo-and-Co-GettyImages-200276637-001-RFE.jpg?auto=format,compress&#038;q=72&#038;fit=crop&#038;w=1200 1200w\"><figcaption class=\"mt-2 text-right text-xs\">Cycle routes in Provence range from family-friendly day trips to tough multi-day circuits \u00a9 Photo and Co \/ Getty Images<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2 class=\"article-h2 mb-6 mt-16 text-black\">Leisurely rides in The Luberon (Provence)<\/h2>\n<p class=\"text-md my-6 text-black-400\"><strong>Best for: Cycle tourers<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"text-md my-6 text-black-400\">The Luberon is the picture book image of southern France. The inspiration for a thousand novels, films and paintings, this inland region of Provence with its sun-soaked olive groves, vineyards, and fields of startlingly bright lavender plants, is dotted with gorgeous hilltop villages built from honey-colored rock, linked to one another via quiet country roads and superb cycle paths.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text-md my-6 text-black-400\">There\u2019s a fair bit of up and down to riding here \u2013 and in summer the weather can be as hot as a furnace \u2013 but most people are so bowled over by the beauty of the countryside that they don\u2019t really notice the hard work they\u2019re putting in. There are all sorts of routes to be pedaled here \u2013 some are easy family-friendly affairs, while others, including a complete 236km (147-mile) circuit of the region, are far more challenging.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"article-h2 mb-6 mt-16 text-black\">The Canal du Midi Cycle Path<\/h2>\n<p class=\"text-md my-6 text-black-400\"><strong>Best for: First-time cycle tourers and history buffs<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"text-md my-6 text-black-400\">Cycling alongside southern France\u2019s Canal du Midi involves passing a roll call of fortified towns, crumbling castles, avenues of stately plane trees and quiet villages. And the Canal du Midi isn\u2019t just about good looks, it\u2019s also heavy in history. This is both the oldest canal in Europe and the first canal in the world to use a system of locks to allow boats to easily cover its length. Fun fact: The inventor of the canal locks was none other than Leonardo da Vinci, who spent the last years of his life in France.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text-md my-6 text-black-400\">The Canal du Midi is generally flat and easy to cycle, with lots of bike-friendly tourist facilities along the way. In other words, it\u2019s pretty much the dream cycle route. Officially, the Canal du Midi cycle path runs from Toulouse all the way to the shimmering Mediterranean Sea at S\u00e8te some 240km (149 miles) away. Most people skip the first bit of the route and instead begin their adventure in the fairy-tale, fortified town of Carcassonne. This means four days of steady peddling before you can don your swimsuit and dive into the sea at the route\u2019s end.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"my-24 lg:w-[calc(100%+5rem)] lg:-ml-10\"><img src=\"https:\/\/lp-cms-production.imgix.net\/2024-08\/shutterstockRF387598672.jpg?auto=format,compress&#038;q=72&#038;fit=crop\" alt=\"Bikers bicycle touring near Chambord Castle in the Loire Valley, France\" width=\"4731\" height=\"3134\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"max-w-full object-contain w-full bg-black-100 \" sizes=\"auto, (min-width: 1200px) 1200px, (min-width: 1024px) 1024px, (min-width: 768px) 768px, (min-width: 640px) 640px, (min-width: 320px) 320px, 100vw\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lp-cms-production.imgix.net\/2024-08\/shutterstockRF387598672.jpg?auto=format,compress&#038;q=72&#038;fit=crop&#038;w=320 320w, https:\/\/lp-cms-production.imgix.net\/2024-08\/shutterstockRF387598672.jpg?auto=format,compress&#038;q=72&#038;fit=crop&#038;w=640 640w, https:\/\/lp-cms-production.imgix.net\/2024-08\/shutterstockRF387598672.jpg?auto=format,compress&#038;q=72&#038;fit=crop&#038;w=768 768w, https:\/\/lp-cms-production.imgix.net\/2024-08\/shutterstockRF387598672.jpg?auto=format,compress&#038;q=72&#038;fit=crop&#038;w=1024 1024w, https:\/\/lp-cms-production.imgix.net\/2024-08\/shutterstockRF387598672.jpg?auto=format,compress&#038;q=72&#038;fit=crop&#038;w=1200 1200w\"><figcaption class=\"mt-2 text-right text-xs\">Pedaling to classic ch\u00e2teaux such as Chambord is part of the fun in the Loire Valley \u00a9 Michal Szymanski \/ Shutterstock<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2 class=\"article-h2 mb-6 mt-16 text-black\">The Loire Valley<\/h2>\n<p class=\"text-md my-6 text-black-400\"><strong>Best for: History buffs and anyone who\u2019s ever got on a bicycle<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><astro-ad data-container-id=\"gpt-ad-962635708859\" data-path=\"\/9885583\/LonelyPlanet.com\/articles\/in-content-native\" data-slot-size='[\"fluid\"]' data-targeting='{\"url\":\"best-places-to-cycle-holiday-france\",\"destination\":\"France\",\"continent\":\"Europe\",\"country\":\"France\"}' data-debug=\"false\" class=\"block gpt-ad my-24 lg:w-[calc(100%+5rem)] lg:-ml-10 shadow p-6\"><\/p>\n<div id=\"gpt-ad-962635708859\" style=\"min-height:min-content\">   <\/div>\n<p>  <\/astro-ad><\/p>\n<p class=\"text-md my-6 text-black-400\">Loire \u00e0 V\u00e9lo (Loire by bicycle) was the first official, way-marked long-distance cycle route in France. Following the River Loire, from its birthplace in the icy heights of the Massif Central to its union with the ocean on the Atlantic seaboard, the route streams through 900km (560 miles) of classic French scenery.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text-md my-6 text-black-400\">Completing the whole tour might be a bit much for the average cyclist, but take on the 100km (62-mile) stretch through the Touraine region and you&#8217;ll hit the highlights of the route in a few lazy days of cycling. This is the heart of French ch\u00e2teaux country, and along the way, lucky bikers will roll alongside glories such as Amboise, Tours and Chinon.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text-md my-6 text-black-400\">The beauty of the main Loire Valley route is that you can also happily ignore it and take any number of side cycle trails to other ch\u00e2teaux and attractive towns and villages. Tourist offices can advise on trails suitable for everyone from seasoned cyclers to first-time pedalers.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"article-h2 mb-6 mt-16 text-black\">V\u00e9loroute Vall\u00e9e de Somme<\/h2>\n<p class=\"text-md my-6 text-black-400\"><strong>Best for: Anyone interested in WWI history<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"text-md my-6 text-black-400\">The Somme \u2013 the very name immediately brings forth images of the waste and destruction of WWI and the notorious Battle of the Somme. And true enough, this 160km (99-mile) cycle route along the banks of the River Somme does pass by many sad reminders of one of the darkest moments in human history. It&#8217;s as much a pilgrimage as a cycling holiday.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text-md my-6 text-black-400\">But, here\u2019s the thing: The Somme is no longer a place of tears. Alongside the war memorials, what you\u2019ll remember from this bike ride are the wide open spaces at the mouth of the Somme, marshes and lakes ringing to the call of birds, ancient archaeological sites and the joy of cycling right up to the gates of the cathedral in Amiens. It\u2019s one of the finest rides in northern France.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text-md my-6 text-black-400\">There are plenty of towns and villages to rest up in along the way and the route is largely level, following a well-maintained cycle path, which means this is one long-distance route that almost anyone can take on.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"my-24 lg:w-[calc(100%+5rem)] lg:-ml-10\"><img src=\"https:\/\/lp-cms-production.imgix.net\/2022-07\/france-BEG285-rfe.jpeg?auto=format,compress&#038;q=72&#038;fit=crop\" alt=\"A mountain biker rides a trail on a ridge near Les Arcs in the French Alps\" width=\"5200\" height=\"3481\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"max-w-full object-contain w-full bg-black-100 \" sizes=\"auto, (min-width: 1200px) 1200px, (min-width: 1024px) 1024px, (min-width: 768px) 768px, (min-width: 640px) 640px, (min-width: 320px) 320px, 100vw\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lp-cms-production.imgix.net\/2022-07\/france-BEG285-rfe.jpeg?auto=format,compress&#038;q=72&#038;fit=crop&#038;w=320 320w, https:\/\/lp-cms-production.imgix.net\/2022-07\/france-BEG285-rfe.jpeg?auto=format,compress&#038;q=72&#038;fit=crop&#038;w=640 640w, https:\/\/lp-cms-production.imgix.net\/2022-07\/france-BEG285-rfe.jpeg?auto=format,compress&#038;q=72&#038;fit=crop&#038;w=768 768w, https:\/\/lp-cms-production.imgix.net\/2022-07\/france-BEG285-rfe.jpeg?auto=format,compress&#038;q=72&#038;fit=crop&#038;w=1024 1024w, https:\/\/lp-cms-production.imgix.net\/2022-07\/france-BEG285-rfe.jpeg?auto=format,compress&#038;q=72&#038;fit=crop&#038;w=1200 1200w\"><figcaption class=\"mt-2 text-right text-xs\">The ridges and roads of the French Alps are a rite of passage for cyclists \u00a9 NielsVK \/ Alamy Stock Photo<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2 class=\"article-h2 mb-6 mt-16 text-black\">Col de la Loze in the French Alps<\/h2>\n<p class=\"text-md my-6 text-black-400\"><strong>Best for: Cyclists with legs of steel<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"text-md my-6 text-black-400\">With spectacular mountain vistas and soaring and tumbling roads that rise up and over numerous high passes, the French Alps is one of the world\u2019s great cycle destinations. But the rewards don\u2019t come easy here and most Alpine routes are not for first-time cyclists, though there are endless biking possibilities for experienced riders.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text-md my-6 text-black-400\">Perhaps the most famed are the routes up to and down from the 2304m (7560ft) Col de la Loze in the Les 3 Vall\u00e9es region. There are four different cycle routes of varying lengths that take in the pass, and an even longer and more challenging 3 Vall\u00e9es circuit is currently under construction. The principal route to the top involves a grinding 7km (4.3-mile) climb \u2013 sometimes at an angle of 23% \u2013 from 1673m to a high of 2304m.<\/p>\n<link rel=\"preload\" as=\"fetch\" href=\"\/_server-islands\/RelatedBooksLayout?e=RelatedBooksLayout&#038;p=275F760FF4E0DA42E0F7BE55UoLsLVEe9CTzW76WWFCKhIPx8EjbzF79WL5xIIB0D0E%2BgnPkjLfJjVqD9cEzXDzOqNsPAk5WGgtbqS5nZTWKG6WKkXZBSxYTsTN%2B%2BpWMh3myhYjc5RlOJmLLwNfyAXbCBk5LQQ85lW9m3ZTefoWCjrGB5X%2FeZ2qp7GJ16omCLW0jXbvMSPoHdmDiMvntHrqU4iopLl4qNLnLkdvpcB9aYivAk%2FFdJ6SapU1fi6LhT4OE2k2us9hxbCt%2FNtSU3cL5SRzZ1VQItue5%2BztKhYPlQWB6%2BtJN6ZV6E8sIMKapP5tQBDbTu71pWnxNzwkpHYdWzUqL%2F93yWL1DZ2beY2D0wzNbZTPPhZiZXqKyX%2Bfa5GKkViXY2nqaXfSGe0BbE%2Fufqnpm%2FaMSn4B66QzCSYg12YOEe36fpXmML%2FPzl1VDouaveqlS7CUU%2BFrS5DYIp2ipUQV0SJYV6ZjSi5anmh8W1vD9w%2BQbF76ZsxUE8TrMKZGR9amEGBcJ1dNeHcaNyTeExSm72c0%2BE5PdtxdCrourwrWZF4bNU0WvAOW40u%2Bm6ATH%2FJRGW0NRg%2BIET8PG6HStq%2BgYFymAFPUsj8Q%3D&#038;s=%7B%7D\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>From the Tour de France c<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":624,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-621","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-france-travel-stories"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/gagner-des-cadeaux.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/621","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/gagner-des-cadeaux.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/gagner-des-cadeaux.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gagner-des-cadeaux.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gagner-des-cadeaux.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=621"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/gagner-des-cadeaux.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/621\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1088,"href":"https:\/\/gagner-des-cadeaux.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/621\/revisions\/1088"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gagner-des-cadeaux.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/624"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/gagner-des-cadeaux.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=621"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gagner-des-cadeaux.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=621"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gagner-des-cadeaux.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=621"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
