Cycling camps in France — legendary climbs on your own bike

Riding the roads of the Tour de France, climbing the passes that made cycling history, ending the ride with a local meal or a glass of wine on a terrace: for many cyclists, France remains the most beautiful destination of all. And with LE RAIDARD, you enjoy a rare advantage: the option to come with your own bike, the one you know inside out.

Our cycling destinations in France

Every year, LE RAIDARD offers several trips in France, to destinations chosen for their cycling appeal, the quality of their hospitality and the beauty of their landscapes. Our next stops:

Stage vélo Mont Ventoux — LE RAIDARD, séjour cycliste Provence

Mont Ventoux cycling camp

The Giant of Provence, the most legendary climb in cycling. Starting from Malaucène, our camps combine the three classic ascents of Ventoux, the Gorges de la Nesque and the roads of Provence. A long weekend, or even a week, on request, to tick off the climb that defines a cyclist’s life. And why not all three faces ;-)?

Stage vélo Corse — LE RAIDARD, séjour cycliste Île de Beauté

Corsica cycling camp

The Island of Beauty offers cyclists spectacular roads between sea and mountains, wild passes such as the Col de Bavella and the Col de Vergio, and incomparable local food. A hidden gem, ideal in spring and autumn.

Camps on request: Alps, Pyrenees, Alsace and the Vosges

Dreaming of climbing the Galibier, the Iseran or the Madeleine? Of ticking off the Tourmalet, the Aubisque or the Peyresourde during a dedicated week? Of discovering the Alsace Wine Route by bike, among vineyards and listed villages? LE RAIDARD organises tailor-made camps in the Alps, the Pyrenees and Alsace for clubs, groups of friends or couples who want to build their ideal trip, from a long weekend to a full week. Until they appear in our catalogue!
