Discover the soul of France through hidden backroads and timeless terroirs
France is the very soul of cycling. From the sun-drenched tarmac of the French Riviera to the misty, jagged silhouettes of the Alps, French roads have been steeped in the lore of the Grande Boucle for over a century. Riding here is to follow in the footsteps of legends.
Whether you seek the raw, vertical challenge of the “Giant of Provence,” Mont Ventoux, or the rhythmic suffering of the 21 hairpins of Alpe d’Huez, France offers the ultimate test. But the magic of the Hexagon extends far beyond these iconic summits. It is found in History and the richness of the terroir: quiet mornings where village markets burst into life, sun-ripened fruits, artisanal cheeses, and the inviting scent of fresh bread.
A cycling journey in France is a navigation through a living mosaic, where each region tells a story through its soil, its stones, and its spirit. Our trips are a deep dive into the identity of the Hexagon: the rolling vineyards of Burgundy, the lavender-scented backroads of Provence, the Loire Valley and its châteaux, and the fortress of Carcassonne. It is also a journey into hidden regions, offering to the most devoted lovers of France new wonders to uncover.
Here, the art de vivre and cuisine are the perfect partners to the athletic effort. Imagine yourself after the stage, on the terrace of a magnificent boutique hotel, savoring a Bordeaux or Burgundy as an aperitif before sitting down to a meticulously curated dinner. Welcome home.

PLAN your FRANCE bike tour
While France can be visited year-round, the prime cycling season runs from April to October. Provence and the French Riviera are perfect from early spring, while the high passes of the Alps and Pyrenees wait for June to reveal their full majesty.
Ride in the footsteps of Tour de France legends or cruise along quiet country lanes. Our itineraries prioritize low-traffic secondary roads, carefully scouted for their smooth asphalt and breathtaking scenery.
A journey with Veymont is as much a cultural immersion as a sporting adventure. Between stages, we organize private tastings at renowned wine estates, gourmet picnics along the Loire, or refined dinners in Provencal bastides.
Every group is unique. We design your journey according to your aspirations—whether you seek a challenging athletic feat or a leisurely exploration of the countryside. From the fairytale châteaux of the Loire Valley to the dramatic Alpine summits or the sun-drenched vineyards of Provence, you choose the dates and the region; we create the experience.
We coordinate private transfers from any French airport or train station directly to our hand-picked hotels. While Paris (CDG) is the primary hub with seamless TGV connections to the provinces, you can also arrive via Marseille (MRS), Nice (NCE), Lyon (LYS), Geneva (GVA), or Toulouse (TLS). Major cycling gateways such as Grenoble, Avignon, Lille, and Bordeaux are equally accessible within hours by high-speed rail.
For those traveling with their own equipment, our staff handles the full assembly of your bike upon arrival. If you prefer to travel light, our premium rental fleet is professionally tuned and fitted to your exact measurements, ready for your first kilometer.
