In the land of the Tour de France, there is no shortage of beautiful routes for cycling enthusiasts. From the Hauts de France to the Côte d'Azur, from Brittany to Alsace, here's our pick of the best cycling tours across France: 22,800 km of cycle paths and greenways, 5,500 km of regional cycle routes, 3,000 road and mountain bike circuits... In the countryside, along the canal, by the sea, in the vineyards or in the mountains.
Small harbours, large lighthouses, headlands, cliffs, dunes, beaches... You can start your cycling route around the Breton coast in Roscoff, in the Pays des Abers and Finistère and follow the Vélomaritime cycle route to Mont-Saint-Michel. You'll ride across Brittany through the pink granite coastline and the breathtaking capes of Erquy and Fréhel, which in July are covered in a purple and yellow carpet of flowering heather and rodents. There are also little surprises inland, along canals and old railway lines that have been turned into cycle paths. Be sure not to miss the canal from Nantes to Brest, with its blooming lock attendants' houses, and take a trip around Lac de Guerlédan. The nicest and quietest route to Saint Malo and Dinard goes via Ille and Rance.
