France - Brittany - Cycling Holiday

France - a country that is synonymous with idyllic cycling holidays along quiet country lanes and backroads through unspoilt, spacious countryside where cyclists are welcome, and where the pleasures of the palate are daily reward.

The area is famous for its rich cultural heritage and architecture. Castles, feudal fortresses and abbeys are all waiting to be visited, and the area is rich in of flora and fauna.

Starting and finishing this cycling holiday in the medieval town of St. Malo you head towards and follow the picturesque Emerald Coast, including stops at the awesome 8th century abbey Mont St. Michel and the charming ‘city of the sea’ St. Malo. The coastal section includes a line of fine sandy beaches interspersed with rocks, reefs, granite headlands and sheer cliffs, which are dappled pink and grey in the sun.

Heading inland to visit the finest of Brittany's towns such as Fougeres, with their medieval castles and charm. We cycle through quaint villages, farmlands and forests before finishing our cycling holiday where we started, on the coast at the walled town of St. Malo.
