The bike trails were well maintained and the guides were very helpful. The overnight stays on the boat were very comfortable and the food was delicious. I can recommend this trip to anyone who enjoys cycling and wants to discover the beauty of France.
My partner and I recently embarked on the Loire Valley eBike Tour with Terranova Bike Tours, and it was an absolutely unforgettable experience. From the moment we arrived, we were struck by the beauty and charm of the French countryside. The accommodations were top-notch, with each hotel offering a unique blend of comfort and authenticity. We particularly enjoyed staying in the châteaux, which made us feel like we were stepping back in time. One of the highlights of the tour was the food. Each meal was a delightful experience, featuring local specialties and fine French cuisine. We had the opportunity to visit local markets and enjoy wine tastings, which added an extra layer of enjoyment to the trip.
The Provence e-bike tour was a very special experience! The landscapes were breathtaking, with a sea of light and color that impressed us again and again. The e-bikes were great and took us effortlessly through the rolling hills of Provence. The accommodation was very comfortable and the food was incredibly tasty. We really enjoyed the tour and would recommend it to anyone who wants to experience the beauty of Provence.
The guided e-bike tour “Grand Tour Alps” through Switzerland, France and Italy was a great experience! The route led through beautiful landscapes and the routes were perfectly chosen. We really enjoyed the tour and can recommend it to anyone who enjoys riding an e-bike.
France is a fantastic destination for cycling tours! Here are some of our top reasons why:
Cycling in France is safe, especially compared to some other countries. France has a well-developed network of cycling paths, called voies vertes, which are separated from traffic. Many French motorists are accustomed to sharing the road with cyclists and are respectful of them.
However, there are still some things to be aware of to stay safe:
The best times to cycle in France are spring (April-May) and autumn (September-October). During these shoulder seasons, you’ll enjoy pleasant temperatures, fewer crowds, and beautiful scenery.
However, if you’re set on cycling in the summer, be prepared for hot weather and bigger crowds. Just avoid the peak of the French holiday season (mid-July to mid-August) if you can.
