Alternative Tour de France – 10 day cycle tour, France

Activities : Mountain Biking

Destination : FRANCE

Fitness : Medium

Minimum amount to be raised : Approx £1800

ACTIVITY DESCRIPTION
This is the other Tour de France, a journey by bicycle across the width of the country of wine, food and history. During your ride you’ll take both the Bordeaux and Cotes du Rhone wine regions, the feudal towns and fortress of the Central Massif and Provence’s rolling hills and castles.

We’ll begin our ride through France in the Bordeaux wine country at the village of St Emilion which has been perched high above the vineyards since the middle-ages. As you pedal upstream along the Dordogne River, first chalk cliffs start rising above the vineyards, then the vineyards start thinning out and castles and fortified villages take their place clinging to the cliffs. We’ll spend a couple of days in this enchanting place bedding down in Limuelie and Rocamadour (considered to be one of Frances two prettiest villages) Leaving Rocamadour the dry oak forests, deep gorges and numerous castles of the Central Massif fill your day enroute to St Enimie.

St Enimie is deep in the Tarn Gorge, renowned for its scenic splendour and medieval villages. You have a free day here to enjoy some white water canoeing or people watching from a street side café. Climbing our of the Tarn Gorge’s far end, we roll along the Corniche des Cevennes enjoying its high panoramas, before dropping down to the town of Anduz and the start of our explorations of Provence. We’ll spend our last day on the bikes exploring the many wonders of this region from the ancient Roman aqueduct Pont du Gard to the castles of Tarasco. Discover the best cycling France has to offer in the summer of 2005.

This is what we love about France, the food the wine the cheese and the culture and history. This tour is a great way to see the real France and to sample some of its real treasures. Rather than just cycling for hours every day, this tour allows for the cultural side of our natural temptations. This is a great tour for those who want more than an ordinary tour. It has mass appeal to people of all ages, cycling experiences and backgrounds.
