What do you do besides riding during your family cycling holidays in France ?

Family bike trips are not only about cycling! You can make the most of this experience by taking your children to local fun and educational attractions like museums, historical sites, and other cultural landmarks. Imagine taking your kids to a street art walk in Bordeaux around the Bassin à Flots district or walking through the beautiful parks and green spaces such as the Parc Bordelais, or engaging in a treasure hunt in Loire to entertain the whole family! With such activities, the company of a local guide can be the best choice to enjoy your experience. A guided family cycling holiday immerses you deeply in the destination you are exploring and kids can sometimes be more receptive to the educational attractions with the help of a passionate local guide. Moreover, a local guide helps you discover scenic spots for family picnics during your cycling tours, as well as exquisite and gastronomic restaurants to take your kids to. To complete the family cycling holidays experience, depending on your bike tour duration, take your children to a cruise or do some water activities: kayaking, paddleboarding or renting a boat are fantastic options for those loving a fun-filled family trip!
