Planning a tour with us


 







This region of France is a wonderful location for a light French cycling holiday with major river valleys clad in green woods and forests. Often as though hanging from cliff edges you see many sandstone fortified villages. Romantic ancient villages are just some of the delights to see on your French cycle tour in the extraordinary variety of landscapes of Aveyron and the Parc Naturel des Grands Causses.
A light journey along three rivers: Tarn, Sorgue and Dourbie. You'll see three very different sceneries in the Natural Parc des Grands Causses:

The first part you will be cycling in the Canyon of the Dourbie to Nant. You'll see the vultures circling high above you.

In the second part you'll be crossing the Causse du Larzac and be in La Couvertoirade, the most known Templars town. The Larzac is a limestone plateau from where the Templars started their crusades to Jerusalem in th 12th and 13th century. You'll find Roquefort and its cheese caves on your way. Through the beautiful valleys of the Sorgue you'll be heading slowly going down to St. Affrique.

At the end you'll cycle in the valley of the Tarn and ride under the Millau Viaduct back to your starting place: Millau.
On your first day you can cycle to the Millau viaduct.
