Cycling Holidays in the French Alps

Drome-Provence

The Drome-Provence department offers the best of both the Provence region and Rhone-Alpes region. This is where the weather changes and the clouds give way to the clear blue sky, as well as where the lavender fields begin to appear and the mountains become rolling hills perfect for cycling. The natural environment is not the only great interest of this region, there is the cultural heritage present in every town. For example, travel back to the medieval times when you visit Le Poët-Laval, a town that has remained in the same condition since the 15th century, with no roads just paths and stairways. You must bike to the settlement of Grignan to observe the majestic Château de Grignan surrounded by lavender fields and vineyards. A few other towns worth noting that will not disappoint include Valreas, Dieulefit, Crest, and Nyons. The off the beaten track routes of this region rich in lavender and fruit production are perfect for cycling vacationers.

You can also find your Loire Valley bike tour, your France castle tour, your Massif Central bike tour or your Nord of France bike tour.
