A lot of good reasons for a bike ride in France

Not one of France's best known rivers, the Lot flows west towards the atlantic at bordeaux

Entraygues

Along the route across southern France, it passes through a gorge and links ancient towns and villages

Conques

The medieval heart of Conques and its abbey church is popular with pilgrims

part of the famous tympanum

Quiet roads along the river, ancient villages and chateaux

The village of St Cirque la popie is popular with visitors

Small roads climb the steep sides of the gorge

the city of Cahors marks the end of the gorge

Cahors

From here the lot winds through the famous malbec vineyards

the cycle trail passes through walnut orchards

Riding back to Entraygues, the main road has some spectacular natural features

An adjacent valley, the CÉlé is the route to the Grotte du Pech Merle with the ancient wall paintings, deep underground

Our bikes end up in some interesting places

the Célé valley

Marcilhac

It's easy to find something tasty for lunch in france

and good local wine is never far away

can you think of any reason why France is not the perfect cycling country?
