Discover France Recognized With ‘Trip of the Year’ by National Geographic Adventure Magazine
Scottsdale, AZ- For cycling enthusiasts and adventure-lovers, Discover France offers an award-winning cycling trip through the Pyrenees. Chosen as one of the Best New Trips of 2010 by National Geographic Adventure, this challenging 10 day/9 night trip allows experienced cyclists the chance to cross the Pyrenees mountains (the rugged natural border where France meets Spain) by bike, with stops in lovely rustic villages along the way.
As the premiere bicycle tour company in France, Discover France’s familiar presence and attention to detail assures participants of the best experience possible.
Starting on the Atlantic Coast in the casino town of Biarritz, you will quickly leave the glitz behind and dive into the back country of the Pyrenees. Small villages, quiet roads, traditional craftspeople, and a slow-paced lifestyle dominate the landscape here. Riding along at a comfortable speed will allow you to absorb the majesty of this region (and will hopefully take your mind off the treacherous climbing!). After eight days of riding through the mountains, you can dip your toes in the Mediterranean Sea at Collioure, and relish no small victory: crossing one of one of nature’s most imposing mountain barriers in one of Europe’s most undeveloped regions.
