Do you need to hire a bike in France? Then see our listings of bike hire shops across the country.
For a personal recommendation, see here for my bespoke service.
We're compiling listings for cycle hire shops throughout France. Our listings are a work in progress – please get in touch if you know of other bike hire shops, or if you yourself run a bike rental outlet, and we will update our pages. Likewise if you find an error, or discover a bike shop has closed down or moved. We're including dedicated shops as well as hotels, B&Bs and campgrounds that offer guests cycle hire; we'll also include tour companies that offer independent cyclists bike rental that's not dependent upon taking a guided or self-guided tour.
