About Freewheeling France

Freewheeling France covers anything and everything to do with cycling in France. It's mostly about cycling holidays in France – from daytrips and weekend breaks to extended bike tours, and European or worldwide adventures that pass us by. It also features lots of other stuff too, like information relating to the Tour de France, general cycling advice, and a blog.

The site is very much a spare-time labour of love (it's usually just me tinkering in my spare time), so I really appreciate the contributions of cyclists from around the world who take the time to share their knowledge and experiences of biking in France. Ideas and suggestions are welcome via lyn@freewheelingfrance.com

You can help spread the word by 'liking' us on Facebook, following on Twitter, or by adding your photos to our Flickr stream.

To help cover the costs of the site (and because I keep getting asked for recommendations), I've started listing bike-friendly accommodation in France and cycling tours. For these I charge a small fee, which goes towards covering the costs of the database, as well as covering the costs of the teabags and coffee that keep me awake when I'm working on the site late at night when the kids have gone to bed. My friend Maria helps me look after this section, so let us know if you'd like to be listed or if you can recommend a cycle-friendly place to stay or a good cycling tour.

Note that I maintain this site to provide as accurate information as I can, but things do change - maps go out of date, bike routes get altered, weblinks start erroring. All my information, accommodation and tours listings are intended as starting points only. Please follow the relevant links to find out more, and ask all the usual questions before booking anything.

Bonne route!
