Eco-Friendly Holidays by Bike

Go green on your next cycling holiday

We are committed to encouraging responsible travel in the hope to make exploring the world sustainable in the long term. Almost all of our tours in France are accessible by rail, which can reduce your carbon footprint by up to 90% compared to flying. Alternatively, if you are based in the UK, why not hop on the train to try one of our new cycling tours in Sussex or the Cotswolds? These picturesque pockets of English coast and countryside are quick and easy to reach, making for the perfect weekend escape.

A cycling holiday is one of the most environmentally-friendly holidays you can consider. For history and wine lovers, we recommend Bordeaux. This destination is committed to eco-friendly transport and unspoilt countryside and is one of the most cycle-friendly cities in the world.
