From the roads below Mont Ventoux to the Alps and Corsica, a cycling holiday in France lets you spend your days riding while the planning is handled for you. The two programmes on this page are both road cycling camps, built around structured days in the saddle with breakfast at your base before you head out each morning.
In Provence, a spring training camp runs over 8 days from the VeloVentoux base, giving you six days on the roads below Mont Ventoux. Routes are set and GPX files are provided. The riding opens with a steady endurance ride of 100–120 km on rolling terrain, used to practise pace-line riding and group technique, before heading into the Baronnies. Alternatively, a 7-day road cycling camp takes you into the Alps and Corsica. Each morning begins with breakfast at the house and a ride briefing covering the route, the climbs and the plan for the day, and then you ride with guides on the road, so the only thing you need to think about is the cycling itself.
Both programmes suit riders who already enjoy long days on the bike and want to build their fitness, and the Alpine and Corsican camp is aimed squarely at ambitious amateurs. Prices start from 390 GBP for the Provence camp and from 2950 EUR for the Alpine and Corsican camp, so you can choose between a focused spring block of training and a guided week in the mountains.
