The love affair between the French and their bicycles is no secret, and the Gironde was seemingly made for leisurely exploration on two wheels. Take the time to appreciate what makes the region so special – from the stone dovecotes which adorn many a Maison Maitre to the old-fashioned market towns along the Dordogne. Enjoying France is of course also all about taste. Choose to pause for lunch at a country restaurant, or let us put a picnic together for you. Call in at vineyards for wine-tasting discoveries; or other culinary delights; end your day with a dinner of delicious regional cuisine at the hotel. France truly is made for our kind of cycling!
