Peak Tours' cycle challenge "extraordinaire" from one end of France to the other. Starting from the northern French coast at Ouistreham, close to the historic town of Caen, we continue southwards through the stunning scenery of areas such as the Loire Valley, Puy-de-Dome and Provence, before we finish the tour near Nice on the Mediterranean coastline 10 days later. Covering approximately 840 miles / 1350km we average around 84 miles / 135km a day with some longer days in the flatter areas and some shorter days in the hillier areas especially when we climb Mont Ventoux (there is an option to cycle round it). France is a wide and diverse country which contains a variety of different and stunning landscapes. Most people have heard of the Tour de France and the country can arguably be considered the cultural home of cycling.
