Biking
Biking enthusiasts will find everything their
hearts desire in the Périgord.
Cyclotourists may choose from no fewer than
twenty-nine on-road circuits to encounter
the true spirit of the département. The
hiking/biking trails, which cover 2,000 km,
lead along rivers, valleys and hillsides, and
provide natural surroundings for your bike
excursions.
Designed with practicality in mind, each
circuit can either be shortened or linked to
the next depending on your needs. Along
the way, you'll find supplies, restaurants,
accommodation and cycle mechanics at your
service.
A map of the cycle-tourism circuits in the Périgord is available free of charge from the Comité Départemental du Tourisme.A large number of paths are consecrated to
all-terrain biking. It is important to take into
account the markers that have been set up.
Itineraries are indicated by two circles joined
with a coloured triangle. To make sure you
don't get lost, use the maps from the collection
Sentiers du Périgord.
You will also enjoy the circuits of La Forêt du
Vignoble (five circuits from 7 to 43 km) which
were set up with all-terrain biking in mind.
Three all-terrain biking organisations can
provide services for you: circuits, equipment
hire and monitoring.
