The City of Bordeaux

Vineyards and Valleys
The more you cycletour this patchwork of vineyards, tiny hamlets and elegant chateaux the more you learn and the more you know ... well we are still learning and as we do we add to these pages about this fascinating slice of France.

Useful Resources
The site's  'junk room' - all information about cycle holidays that didn't fit elsewhere but was too useful to throw out. Have a rummage to see what interests you. FAQs, road signs, public conveniences, feats of derring do - its all here.

Why Choose Bordeaux
for a Cycling Holiday?

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

• Flights from the UK take about 90 minutes, or early trains from St Pancreas can reach lunch in the city (see Easy routes to Bordeaux).
• The elegant 18th century city centre has been rightly awarded World Heritage status as an architectural gem
• The chic ‘golden triangle’ has the specialist lingerie, chocolate, and perfume shops 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 intense games of boules in the village square.

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

We know our cycle tours deliver on those promises - but first ..........
