A New Season Is Upon Us

Our French cycling season is just a few weeks away, cue a short reminder of our schedule, and where you can find out more information if you’re interested.

We’ll always have tours of Provence and Dordogne in June – they’re the two most popular of our French tours. We try to avoid Provence in July because the Avignon Festival makes accommodation difficult; Dordogne is particularly lovely early on in the season. So it’s no surprise that our first two French tours are Provence and Dordogne. But variety arrives in a hurry, and very soon we have tours of Normandy, Burgundy and the Loire Valley.

Below, I’ve listed our first handful of tours for 2013, along with links to photo galleries, videos, our itineraries and even detailed map and satellite views of the tours. Click away and have some fun, there’s lots of interesting information and photos here:
