France by gravel bike
The best gravel bike trails in France
France has invested a lot of resources in the creation of a national system of cycle paths. These develop both on cycle paths and on roads with promiscuous but still rather reduced traffic. This system is certainly one of the most developed in Europe and allows you to cross France far and wide between monuments, natural areas and one of the most varied and fascinating coasts, both on the Atlantic and Mediterranean sides.
To select the best gravel itineraries in France, we took into consideration some parameters such as compatibility with a 2 to 14 day holiday, the accessibility of the itinerary by means of transport and the presence of cycle tourism services in the surrounding area.
