The French southwest offers the Dordogne valleys with their castles and medieval villages, the French Basque Country with its unique character, and the Gers with its sunflower-covered hills and fortified bastides.
Gentle secondary roads through valleys and hills, little traffic, medieval villages around every corner. Good tarmac. Pleasant climate nearly all year. Ideal for relaxed rides.
