France offers motorcyclists a diverse landscape, from Alpine peaks to Mediterranean coasts, including wine regions. The country is suitable for all riding styles, with demanding mountain roads, winding coastal routes, and rural paths. Key routes include the Col de la Bonette, reaching 2802 meters and connecting Ubaye to Tinée over 26 kilometers. The Gorges du Verdon feature 21 kilometers of rock-carved road, passing through tunnels and 700-meter-high cliffs. The Routes of the Great Alps cross 16 passes over 684 kilometers between Lake Geneva and the Mediterranean, with a total ascent of 15,700 meters. Mount Ventoux, accessible via three routes and standing at 1912 meters, passes through lavender fields and vineyards in Provence. Regions display striking contrasts: Corsica alternates between cliff roads and pine forests, the French Riviera combines coast and mountainous hinterland, and Dordogne winds between limestone cliffs and medieval villages. Lake Annecy connects water bodies with forested mountain passes. These routes feature technical curves, varied landscapes, and cultural sites.
The Tour de France 2025 takes place from July 5 to 27 and marks the 112th edition of this major bike race. It is one of the three biggest road cycling events of the year. This collection shows the towns where the Tour caravan will stop, from northern cities like Lille and Dunkirk to the Norman lands and beyond. Each stage crosses regions full of history and character. You will see port towns facing the English Channel, old mining areas turned into new places, and medieval towns where the buildings tell stories of the past centuries. From Dunkirk’s bell tower to Lille’s fortifications, from Amiens’ cathedral to the half-timbered houses of Rouen, these spots show the country’s history. Some towns also have museums and monuments that remember key moments, like Caen with its memorial, or Bayeux with its famous 11th-century tapestry. Following the Tour is also about traveling through these regions and seeing how cycling has been a part of daily life for more than a hundred years.
