« We very much enjoyed our self-guided cycling tour. We had great support and communication in the planning. Throughout our week everything went off as planned. Mark B. »

« This was my second experience with Discover France and had, again, an amazing time with my children. If you want to discover, on your own, little cities in France, this is what you have to do. Linda G. »

« Our first but certainly not our last trip to beautiful France! The routes were well laid out, the app worked well, the bikes were comfortable and the hotels were excellent. Ingrid A. »

« We truly had a glorious time and only have compliments for you and your company. Equipment, information, assistance, accommodation were faultless and Solène at Discovery France took care of us from the first e-mail of enquiry until the end of the cycle trip. We truly can’t wait for our next adventure with Discover France. Anna.V »

« Hands down, the best adventure organization I've worked with abroad. This will be my 5th time returning with Discover France in 2025. Their programs are unforgettable, with VIP access that surpasses other TDF organizations. They focus on the ride, course, and ensuring the best experience possible. While other programs offer extras, Discover France stands out for its exclusivity and small groups. No expert rider is needed, but comfort on a bike is essential. Their support vehicle, with special French credentials, accompanies you throughout. The best organization ever! »
