About Us
We do just exactly what our name implies: challenging bicycle tours over the famous and classic routes of the most well known bicycle races. But, we also bring the famous mountain climbs of these pro events to amateur riders in a self-guided format, and we organize group guided tours for private parties as well.
We are based in the south of France and in the southwest USA. Our France office is both a bike shop and logistics management center for all tours we have throughout France. Our USA office is the sales and front end operation for customers worldwide. We have been selling bicycle tours in France, Spain, and Belgium for more than 16 years independently under Discover France, and 2010 will marks the 6th year for the Cycling Classics brand. Our staff is experienced, our contacts many, and our services top notch! Our years of tour operation go into this effort, and the combination of companies brings it to you at an exceptional price!
