* Sport Cycling Tours

Whatever your level, the sunny South of France with its exceptional cycling routes is an ideal destination for avid cyclists.

If your partner doesn’t cycle there’s a choice of hiking, Nordic walking, or aqua gym on offer from our team of specialists.

Former champions are on hand to supervise your cycling. Qualified and passionate, they are above all keen to help you improve your performance. A support vehicle accompanies you for back up and comfort on your outings.

When you’re not cycling you can take time out to visit the awesome Verdon Gorges, the Grand Canyon of Europe, or Valensole and its far-stretching lavender fields.
