This is the second time I have travelled with Love Velo to the Loire and they are always helpful and charming. The bikes are first class and the hotels we had were very high quality.

My first experience of solo travel and one that ran seamlessly! I went to France to stay in Bédoin to climb Mont Ventoux. I loved every single minute of my trip and will definitely be using Love Velo again. I could not recommend them highly enough!

We genuinely had the best holiday we've ever had. We booked Love Velo for a cycling trip around Provence, France. The communication running up to the trip was fantastic and hey planned the trip perfectly. The rides were fab and were well tailored to what our capabilities were, with planned cafe stops and amazing stop offs in beautiful towns that we would never have found ourselves. Each hotel was fantastic, getting better each day, and the trip was exactly as we hoped - stress free! Baggage transfers were a must and our bags were always waiting for us when we got to each hotel. Can't wait to book the next one! :D

French Cycling Routes
If there's one thing France is known for it's its gastronomy. From bike and wine tours through Burgundy to tasting the best artisan cheeses in Provence, nothing stirs the soul quite like France.
If you're looking for a cycling and wine tour in France, you've come to the right place. Explore the Dordogne and Garonne rivers, stopping at esteemed vineyards to taste Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon blends. Alternatively head into Burgundy for a deep red or the Loire for a crisp Chenin Blanc drunk in the shadow of a medieval castle in the Valley of the Kings. If it's Provence that excites you, visit Isle-sur-la-Sorgue by bike, the Venice of Provence, and wander through the Sunday market tasting local cheese and charcuterie.
From France's iconic mythical mountains such as Mont Ventoux & Alpe d'Huez to cycling holidays in Provence, e-bike tours along the Loire or exploring the wine regions of France by bike, we can showcase the very best of cycling in France.
