Cyclist Friendly Accommodation in the South of France

Enjoy a cycling holiday in France from this gite for 2 in the Tarn

TOUR DE FRANCE IN ALBI FOR 3 DAYS ! 15-17 JULY 2019

The Tarn countryside is often said to remind people of a blend of Tuscany and the Cotswolds - but however you describe it you will certainly be enchanted by its hills and valleys, its ancient fortified villages, the vineyards and the sunflowers, the winding Tarn river and the dramatic gorges of the Aveyron river

Ranging from the gentle to the very challenging the département of the Tarn is criss-crossed with miles of marked trails and quiet roads

This spacious 1 bedroom holiday cottage (gite) for 2 is set in rolling countryside close to many of the Tarn's véloroutes and the beautiful city of Albi
