Cycling Southern France

A comprehensive guide to major leisure cycling routes south of (and including) the Loire Valley. France is one of Europe's finest cycling destinations and the recent explosion of quality, specially built and signed routes has only enhanced this reputation. Discover: •* Euro-Velo 6, which wends its way across the entire width of France on traffic-free and lightly trafficked tracks and roads. It uses the Loire Valley for much of its length. •* The traffic-free Littoral route along Provence's lovely Mediterranean coast. •* Countless signed routes in the Alps - some much easier than you might imagine. •* A quality traffic-free route along virtually the whole of the Atlantic coast. So, whether you are planning lazy day rides around Loire Chateaux or the long-distance trip of a lifetime along the Canal du Midi and the Garonne valley, linking the Atlantic and Mediterranean in a French C2C adventure, this guide is both an essential pre-trip planner and an invaluable riders' companion. Updated in 2016 to include:- * 18 pages of Route Atlas mapping detailing all of Southern France's main greenways and signed touring routes. * Ride the Rhone valley route from Geneva. * Explore the Cote d'Azur between Toulon and Nice on two wheels. * Extended Lot Valley cycling allowing you to explore the highly scenic upper reaches of the valley. * 14 extra photos of highlights along the way.
