If there were one way to make cycling holidays even more exciting than they already are, accommodation on a floating hotel would probably be the answer. Luckily for you, we offer a number of thrilling bike tours across both Italy and France, on-board one of our four magnificent barges and river cruisers. A bike by day for transport, a boat by night for meals and a good sleep, our en-suite cabins provide you with all the comfort of a cosy hotel.
France
If landscapes were designed specifically for cyclists, they would probably look a lot like France. Rolling hills, winding rivers, vast open plains and a network of quiet cycle tracks, ‘Green Ways'; it’s little wonder France is one of the most popular cycling destinations in the world. Planned with a natural penchant for detail; we offer a number of stunning French tours, each accompanied by boat stay or some time spent on the water in a kayak!
Italy
Discover the cultural heritage and sparkling islands of the Amalfi Coast and the Gulf of Naples. Combine gentle cycling with scenic sailing and fascinating city strolls with a bike and boat holiday. With so much art, history and glorious scenery to discover in Italy, cycling here is a real joy; the delicious cuisine and superb wines are just the icing on the cake on a sail and cycle holiday in Italy. Whatever your level and whatever scenery you like to explore on your bike holiday, Italy has something for you.

A bike and boat holiday in France almost always entails a pedal through one of its vineyards. In fairness, they’re rather hard to miss in a country that produces between 7-8 billion bottles of wine a year! Enjoy the peace and tranquillity of the French countryside and get close to nature on our unique Canoeing and Cycling in the Ardeche holiday. Alternatively, navigate the vibrant lavender fields and quaint villages of Provence, vineyards of Châteauneuf-du-Pape and the River Rhone on our Provence to Camargue tour.
We’re very happy to offer you both guided and self-guided cycling holidays in various areas of France. All tours can include bicycle hire, maps and accommodation bookings, as well as transportation of luggage in between stays. With or without a tour guide, we’re always just a phone call away for any help or assistance you may require. So whether you’re out for the scenery, the wine or the sites, we guarantee you won’t be disappointed with all that France has to offer. And as they say in beautiful country itself, bon voyage mon amis!
