CORREZE CYCLING HOLIDAYS FRANCE

Corrèze Cycling Holidays : the best way to explore the roads of the green heart of France.

If you are looking for high quality Cycling Holidays in France then please look no further!  Set in the green heart of Nouvelle Aquitaine, the varied terrain, stunning scenery and virtually traffic free roads of Corrèze provide a great location for your cycling tour. We are based the rolling foothills of the Massif Central on a plateau (550m) above the Gorges of the Northern Dordogne Valley.

Discover the Magic of The Massif central.

This little known area of France provides a wide variety of cycling to discover.  Keen cyclists can spend the day climbing  and descending some of the many river gorges, including the stunning Upper Dordogne Gorges, and the hills of the Millevaches national park.  There are also relaxing undulating routes alongside lakes, rivers and forests suitable for less experienced cyclists.  In addition there are more challenging rides in the Cantal mountains (Puy Mary 1588m) and in the Puy de Dome area up to the ski resorts of Superbesse and Mont Dore.

Your Cycling Holidays in France “A La Carte…”

We will tailor your days cycling from one of our well researched routes based on your fitness and experience so all abilities can be catered for and no-one is ever left behind. On at least three days a week you can opt to join an accompanied day out, so no need to take a map or think about where you are going, just enjoy the ride. Our cycling holidays are ideally suited to keen road cyclists but we also cater for cyclists who are new to cycling.  Using our crew bus, we can adapt routes for mixed ability groups, so that certain climbs can be avoided and everyone had a good day out. Also for those who want to discover some of the other activities available in the region in  combination with their French cycling holiday. Cycling Holidays France

At the end of your day’s cycling you can clean down and service your bike in our tailor made bike workshop before sitting on the terrace with a cup tea and fresh home-made cake. Finally, after relaxing by the pool or in a hammock by the side of our private fishing lake you will enjoy a four course evening meal with wine and coffee for 5 nights of your stay. We try and feature local specialities from the Massif Central region, the famous ‘terroir’ of France.
