Vineyards and Valleys

Why Choose Bordeaux
for a Cycling Holiday?

Well, the city of Bordeaux itself is blessed with almost unfair advantages:

• Flights from 10 british regional airports take about 2 hours or early trains from London can reach lunch in the city - see Easy routes to Bordeaux
• Bordeaux's elegant 18th century heart is an architectural gem that was rightly awarded World Heritage status by UNESCO.
• The chic ‘golden triangle’ has the lingerie, chocolate, and perfume boutiques that make any visit to France special.

But in addition to having a great gateway city, Bordeaux’s valleys, vinyards and forests have all the other essentials for carefree cycling holidays in France, or anywhere else you choose:

• Quality accommodation that offers stylish comfort for bodies that have earned a  good nights rest (and a dip in the pool?)

• A choice of tour styles and routes of varying distances to cater for the more (and the less) athletic.

• Quiet country lanes and dedicated cycle paths that allow you to enjoy a cycling holiday at your chosen pace.

• Plenty of interest, whether that be tiny hamlets, great cathedrals, wine cellars, grand chateaux, country markets, fortified towns or just games of boules in the village square.

• A tradition of local produce served simply with great wine - the ‘cuisine de terroir’. (on cycling holidays in France calorie-counting is outlawed)

We are sure our cycletours deliver on those promises - but first ..........

Choosing the best cycling holiday for YOU

Holiday time is precious time, so you want to be sure that you are getting the very best cycling holiday that’s available. Surfing takes time so we devised a little check-list that we think helps. It is on The Alternatives page. And to make those comparisons even easier we provide links to 14 cycling holidays around Bordeaux that we know are being offered by others.
 
At the very least it could save you time and it should help you to find the best french cycling holidays for you. (Hope to see you back here soon).
