France is a lucky country when it comes to geography. Wrapped on four sides by the Alps, the Pyrenees, the Mediterranean and the Atlantic coasts, and in between, the Loire, the Dordogne, Provence… Then there’s the great weather; most of the year the temperature is just right for riding your bike and in the south you can ride 1000 m cols year round. All this makes France one of the best places in the world for a cycling holiday.<\/p>\n
Unsurprisingly then, cycling is held close to the nation’s heart. Proud owners of the Tour de France, the French love cycling and cyclists, and motorists not usually reputed for their considerate driving habits will happily slow down for cyclists and give them a good wide berth.<\/p>\n
