Jump
on Two Wheels
France and Belgium have some
of the best cycle routes to enjoy a tranquil holiday on two
wheels. Many routes across the rolling countryside and through
towns and villages are well travelled by amateur and enthusiastic
riders, and many are suitable for families of all ages.
All routes are well marked and can be enjoyed at your own pace. Tourist offices in major towns offer cycle guides, complete with maps, so you don't get lost. You can stay in one place and travel on circular routes, or pack your bike and go from place to place each day.
There is so much to see and do in France and Belgium that biking across the countryside is the ideal way to see everything.
If
you've never been cycling before, or have never taken your bike abroad,
the UK's largest and oldest cycling organisation,
CTC, offers invaluable advice about getting started and
taking your bike abroad safely. You could also get exclusive benefits
with insurance companies, holiday providers and hire shops.
Cycle in France
France is synonymous with idyllic
cycling along quiet country lanes and back roads through unspoilt,
spacious countryside. Along the way you will be amazed by the cultural
and historical sites and the food and wines will delight you.
Cycle in Belgium
Belgium offers a network of
well maintained and dedicated hike and cycle routes following canals,
rivers and passing through beautiful forests. You can explore hundreds
and hundreds of kilometres of paths without encountering any vehicles!
