Explore France by bike

France's countryside has a lot to offer cyclists. It's no surprise that France is home to the most famous cycle race in the world. Your tour need not be so strenuous, though! A great resource is the Voie Vertes, France's network of nature-inspired cycle tracks.
 
The Voie Vertes traverse France's most beautiful countryside. From the stunning Atlantic coast to the drama of the Alps, these routes are diverse. The Voie Verte near Annecy, for example, takes in the magnificent Lake Annecy. It's a great way to explore the rustic villages and culture of the region.


Cycling around Lake Annecy

Lake Annecy is France's third-largest lake. It's known for its clear waters as well as the beautiful Alpine landscape that surrounds it. For cyclists, it's an ideal location, offering mixed terrain that suits all fitness levels. If you fancy donning some lycra, you can cycle the mountain tracks and enjoy exceptional views over Lake Annecy or Lake Bourget. For less ambitious riders, the lower waterside ways are just as enchanting.
