HIDDEN VALLEYS CYCLING TASTER

This holiday is based on our Hidden Valleys Cycling holiday. On this 4-night 'taster' version you follow the same route and have all the benefits of the full tour, but you move on everyday (no rest days). Our 'taster' holidays are ideal for a long weekend break.

This thoroughly enjoyable cycling holiday follows a triangular route. Starting by the River Lot, it takes you first up north onto the Causse de Gramat, the largest of the Quercy plateaux. There’s a wonderful feeling of spaciousness up here, and the views are stunning. Then a wonderful freewheel down the Célé valley before a final stretch along the banks of the River Lot. You keep coming across fascinating places to visit, including the pretty village of Cabrerets, mediaeval Cajarc, and the prehistoric galleried caves at Pech’Merle.

You stay at one of our favourite hotels which has been a hostelry since C13, and another, superbly placed for exploring St Cirq- Lapopie. Meals throughout are of a very high standard. All hotels have private swimming pools, except for Labastide, and river bathing is popular too.
