Biking and hiking in France with Butterfield and Robinson - Just the best way to tour the amazing corners of France

The luxury biking/hiking company, Butterfield and Robinson has many programs that cover France and for anyone ( even people like me who are not that much into biking) is a great way to see the French Countryside with a great guides, wonderful state of the art bikes, fabulous inns and hotel and meals in Michelin restaurants and as George and Ira Gershwin once penned,'Who could ask for anything more!'.
 Among the many places that I love in France, an area almost unknown to most tourists, are the islands of France off the Atlantic Coast. Among those in the know, the Ile d’Oléron and Ile de Ré are the most famous and fashionable islands along the French Atlantic Coast, nestled secretly between Brittany to the north and the vineyards of Bordeaux to the south. This is a land of flat seaside biking, sail boats and enough oysters to make for one shucking good time.
 I vacation here often and its like the feeling of being on Cape Cod, but just less people and more quite and cozy.


Also, I love the area of Eastern France known as Alsace, which I visit often..
