Cycle camping is our first love. Our own holidays are spent in the saddle (along with three children under 8!), this plus our ten years running Breton Bikes mean we probably know more about cycle camping in France than anyone else alive. We believe that France is the finest country in the world for cycle camping. The network of high quality campsites is immense, even in areas rarely visited by tourists there is usually a campsite every 10 miles or so. We give you a route plan of the "turn left at the third bar in the village" variety, which will take you from campsite to campsite. The sites we use are generally the smaller quiet ones, but all will have hot showers and decent toilets. They are also always near a village or town, usually with a restaurant/hotel within easy walking range.
What Tom Moriarty thought of French cyclecamping...
A brief extract..."Campgrounds were absolutely spotless. I have never seen anything like them for cleanliness in Canada or the States. I would be embarassed to bring any of the group over here for camping."
Because the network of campsites in Brittany is so huge we can offer a route to every corner of the region. They vary from a week spent at our local campsite, with circular routes around the area, to a two week dash taking in the north and south coast, and a lot of the centre. In-between the two are more than ten tours each with its own charm. We do not book or pay for the campsites in advance, so in fact if you wish we can simply supply you with a map, campsite guide and say "see you in two weeks!" You pay for the sites when you arrive at each one, but the cost averages only about £2-3 a night. This flexibility means that you don't need to book a particular route in advance, merely turn up and choose the one you fancy most and we'll print out a copy. If you want a complete list of all routes then please have a look at the "routes" page.

Our usual tours are self-led, but three times a year we run very special tours where we come too. These are for small groups of up to 14 and take place in June and the beginning of September. In these tours we often strike off to other parts of France, and recent tours have taken in the Loire Valley, Dordogne and Pyrenees. These tours are very popular and usually have a fair number of regular Breton Bikers, some come every year. The tours for 2000 are to the Perigord and another around Brittany plus the 'women's tour', you are interested please go to the routes page for details.
