Cycling Classics is a France based company owned in joint venture by a French company and an American company. This company, Cycling Classics was formed in 2003 for the 2004 season. Cycling Classics was formed to address the growing need for more challenging tours, trophy tours, that strong cyclists dream of completing.

Cycling Classics took over all tours at the pro races previously offered by Discover France and has ever since been organizing legendary rides over the same course that top pro cyclists race on.

Our mission is simple, focused, and growing in popularity: provide a quality program at a good price that challenges our clients physically but prudently. Ride hard, then relax and celebrate! We offer both self-guided and guided programs to the consumer directly, but also to tour operators and travel agents.

We have individual clients in the USA, Canada, England, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Norway, Ireland, Israel, Singapore, Belgium, Holland, Denmark, Mexico, Argentina, Equador, and more.

We supply tour services to other tour operators in England, USA, Canada, Australia, Norway, Holland, and more.

Stories/Themes: most of our clients are male, but a growing number are female. Triathletes, racers, and adventure races are typical clients.

We do also get father/son combinations, cycling clubs, and bike shop owners and their customers. The common experience of the ride brings them together, any site visits and cultural experiences are added bonuses to the main objective of the rides.

Self Guided - a unique formula that we have down to a science on many of our tours is a big part of volume. It is important not to confuse self-guided with either group/guided or going totally alone. See this page for a complete explanation. This theme of self-guided is a worthy story piece!
