4 Mountain Bike Tours in France Worth Booking

1.Calanques National Park E-Mountain Bike Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 123 reviews · 4 hours · from $84Our pick

Join a small group with a guide such as Iris, Martin, or Cyril for a four-hour e-mountain-bike ride from Marseille into Calanques National Park. Expect rocky trails, steep climbs made easier by electric assistance, views of Sormiou, Château Pastré, and a possible beach stop.

“This was a brilliant way to explore aspects of Marseille and the surrounding area out with the city centre. Cyril was very friendly, fun and knowledgeable and brought the group together nicely. The traffic coming back in towards the bike hub was a bit chaotic if unfamiliar with french road rules but overall experience was awesome. Thank you!”

“Excellent service from Emilie.. So good to be back on some bikes . We did the self guided tour with Kamoot App which worked well. Trail is very rocky in parts so definitely good to have some experience riding a mountain bike. Walk down to Calanque quite rocky and slippery so definitely wear good hiking shoes. Highly recommend this trip and tour operator. Thank you for fitting us in with the cancellation .. greatly appreciated”
