one- or two-week bicycle tours, which endeavour to offer
cyclists of all levels a taste of France's diverse
landscapes and superb scenery. France is undoubtedly one
of the most inviting countries in the world for cycle
touring, a country understandably proud of hosting the
greatest cycle race on Earth, the Tour de France.
