France Bike Trips Travel Formulas |
"Discover the French Bike Touch with local specialists"
When we create a new tour we have one thing in mind: creating the perfect bike holiday. First we make sure the itinerary takes in all the beautiful sights the area has to offer! Varied and beautiful landscapes, as well as interesting cultural and heritage sites are the common thread of our trips. As passionate mountain bikers, we also know that the choice of trails is fundamental to the success of a mountain bike holiday. During our reconnaissance trips, we ride every valley, every trail we can find, in order to choose the best trails and root out the hidden gems. We then piece together an itinerary suited to your level of riding. The majority of our tours are itinerant, meaning you get to discover new trails, descents, summits and valleys each day.
If you enjoy riding through breathtaking landscapes… on great trails and superb flowing singletrack... whilst discovering the most beautiful areas of France... our tours are for you!

SingletrackAhh, sweet, dusty, flowing singletrack... Rest assured, we share the same passion as you do! France Bike Trips MTB tours are all about riding great trails in great locations. If there's a singletrack option, we'll be taking it!Read more
For those less familiar with the term, a "singletrack" is a narrow ribbon of trail roughly 20 to 30 cm wide. It contrasts with double track or fire road tracks which are wide enough for four-wheel drive vehicles. Singletrack is all about having fun and enjoying the ride, but isn't necessarily technically difficult. The singletrack on "2 handlebars" level tours is mainly smooth and flowing, without obstacles. In contrast the trails on "3 handlebars" level tours can be steep and technical, with roots, rocks and switchback hairpin bends...
As you've probably gathered, we're as passionate as you are when it comes to trails, and we take great pleasure in putting together itineraries that take in as much great singletrack as possible...
