The "Recto Verso: 100 Cycling Adventures in France" kit is designed to help cyclists choose, plan, and experience their next getaways. Far more than just a map, it offers a comprehensive method for finding a route that suits your skill level, preferences, and available time.

This guide features 100 tried-and-tested cycling routes, allowing you to embark on anything from a short few-day trip to a long-distance journey. With durations ranging from 2 to 25 days, the routes serve as a practical tool for planning everything from a weekend ride to a major cycling expedition.

The kit caters to both road cyclists and gravel enthusiasts. Whether you are looking for an accessible first adventure or a more demanding course, it guides you from the initial idea to the moment you set off, saving you from hours of research.

100 cycling routes for all levels

One of the kit's key strengths is the variety of routes on offer. They cater to all levels—from beginners to expert cyclists—ensuring everyone can find an adventure suited to their experience, fitness level, and equipment.

These routes offer a unique way to discover France: quiet backroads, gravel paths, valleys, mountain ranges, countryside, coastlines, villages, wide-open spaces, and lesser-traveled trails. The goal is simple: to inspire you to hit the road while simplifying the trip-planning process.

Each route comes with a GPS track—a real asset for navigating on the ground and planning your stages with peace of mind.
