Cycle through Provence’s lavender fields and visit Saint-Rémy-de-Provence, once Van Gogh’s home. The Loire Valley is home to many grand châteaux, while Normandy’s beaches hold D-Day history and coastal towns. Tour Strasbourg’s half-timbered houses and explore Paris with its iconic sights like the Eiffel Tower and the Louvre. France is totally magical.

The June ‘26 cycling trip through Provence with Explore! far surpassed our expectations. As it was our first cycling trip, there was a fair amount of anxiety but that was addressed with detailed & prompt communication prior to the trip and lots of reassurance along the way. The itinerary was very interesting with gradual increase in difficulty matching the varied terrain and incredible sightseeing opportunities. Julien ( our guide) was extremely helpful & attentive checking in on EVERYONE throughout the day & offering advice/encouragement along the way. It is through his consistent effort that our group became a cohesive team looking out for each other on our adventure. Explore! chose perfect accommodations for our home base allowing for plenty of comfort & recovery. Overall, an excellent active vacation! Bravo Explore!

A very good tour with a lot crammed in to see. Our guide Layla kept the group moving & was very informative at every stop. (She had her job cut out for her having to speak both English and & Spanish to our group.) The highlight for us was Mont Saint Michel, but our stops in Normandy & the Loire Valley were also fabulous. The only (small) disappointment was the accommodation in Angers-whilst the hotel was serviceable, it was tired & the room was small, definitely not the 4star we thought we were getting.

William • traveled in October
A fine tour, here are some improvements: 1) ensure tourists are met at the airport. There was a problem with this, although I was reimbursed for cab fare. 2) Use more buses for transportation. Extensive use of public transportation (trams & trains), increases travel time and restricts free time to arrival/departure schedules.

Best time to visit France
- Summer 2026
Summer in France needs smart planning to keep things comfortable. Our Mont Blanc tours are really popular, with early starts to avoid the heat. The cable car up to Lac Blanc gives you amazing mountain reflections and there's nothing quite like reaching high points like Brevent on foot. In Provence, cycling groups head out early to tackle routes like the Les Baux climb, then spend afternoons checking out Van Gogh sites or relaxing poolside. The Atlantic coast gives you good summer options - tours mixing Saint-Malo's sea history with Mont Saint-Michel let you enjoy cool ocean breezes and avoid the busiest times of day.

- August 2026 popular 385 tours
- Fall / Autumn 2026
Autumn brings harvest time and ideal conditions for active travel in France. Our Provence cycling routes put you right in the middle of the wine harvest buzz, with chances to visit small producers during their busy season. The plane trees along the Canal du Midi turn beautiful colors and village markets overflow with autumn produce. Loire Valley tours mix castle visits with new wine tastings, while Normandy gives you crisp weather perfect for exploring medieval Rouen and coastal spots like Honfleur. Our fall cycling groups really appreciate the cooler temperatures on those hilltop village climbs and the way the light makes photos look extra special.
- September 2026 popular 401 tours
- October 2026 383 tours
- November 2026 182 tours
- Winter 2026 / 2027
Winter opens up a different side of France, especially around the Loire Valley and Bordeaux. You'll find the usually packed sites pleasantly quiet during these months. One route that works really well combines Tours and Blois with castle garden visits - Villandry's geometric designs look fantastic even in winter thanks to smart use of evergreens and structural elements. Down in the Dordogne valley, you can take your time exploring Lascaux's prehistoric caves and wander through medieval villages without summer tourists. The Padirac Chasm boat ride shows you France's underground geology up close, though check opening times as it closes during certain winter periods. Wine lovers get extra attention in Bordeaux this time of year, with more relaxed tastings and good chats with winemakers at places like Cité du Vin.

- Spring 2027
Spring brings the French countryside to life, and it's when our cycling tours really come into their own. The Rhône Valley routes in Provence take you past fruit trees in bloom and fresh vineyard growth, with nice stops in Gordes, Saint-Rémy-de-Provence and also other charming villages. Our cyclists love mixing cultural visits to spots like Orange's Roman theater with easy rides through Châteauneuf-du-Pape wine country. The Canal du Midi offers perfect spring cycling weather for exploring medieval Carcassonne and dropping by family wineries in Minervois. The Paris-to-Normandy route works particularly well this time of year - Monet's gardens start blooming and you get clear skies for visiting the D-Day beaches.
