Montargis to Paris

Take a cycling trip from Montargis to Paris, riding on quiet roads and through a rolling landscape. This tour blends the history, poetry, and natural beauty of France's greatest city and its most idyllic countryside. We find traces of the Gallo-Roman era and the famous Château Fontainbleu, as we follow the steps of Joan d’Arc through the beautiful countryside that inspired the impressionist painters. On this stunning French cycling tour, you'll discover a land of forests, legends, medieval castles, and flower-filled canals in a voyage leading to Paris.

The average distance travelled through the French countryside is approximately 25/30 miles a day. The route follows asphalted secondary roads and field paths every now and then. There are some hilly stretches along the way which you can also walk if you'd prefer to take in the sights. You will ride through France's forest landscapes, following rivers' journeys through the landscape, and you will cycle alongside tranquil canals with their many locks and (former) lock-keepers houses.
