France isn’t just a country — it’s a cyclist’s dream playground. From legendary Alpine climbs to peaceful coastal rides in Brittany, the terrain and history are as rich as the food and wine. If you’ve ever watched the Tour de France and thought, “I want to ride there myself,” then why not make it happen?
With More Than 21 Bends, you can create a fully bespoke, guided or self-guided cycling holiday tailored to your fitness level, riding style, and bucket‑list ambitions — whether that means conquering the Alps, drifting through the vineyard‑lined Loire Valley, tackling the wild climbs of the Pyrenees, or exploring the D‑Day landing beaches of Normandy and Brittany.
Why Choose a Bespoke Cycling Holiday?
Off‑the‑shelf cycling trips are fine — but they’re rarely perfect. A bespoke holiday means:
- You choose the climbs (Alpe d’Huez? Mont Ventoux? Galibier? Or gentle rolling lanes?)
- You choose the pace — hardcore challenge or relaxed café‑to‑café adventure
- You choose the accommodation — luxury hotel, authentic farmhouse, or rider‑ready base
- You choose the vibe — family adventure, solo escape, private group, or corporate challenge
And the best part? More Than 21 Bends handles everything — routes, logistics, accommodation, bike hire, transport, even photography and video
