A beautiful location, easy to reach and at the gateway to the Vercors National Park in France, St. Jean-en-Royans is the base for Velo Vercors. If you are looking for a road cycling holiday in France, riding quiet roads in stunning scenery there are plenty of places you could choose. They might do good food, and they might have nice rooms, and some good routes out of the front door. Velo Vercors brings it all together in a great package where everything just seems to come together, making for some sort of alpine cycling paradise.
An historic french house, with a nice big cool cellar to store and work on the bikes, a terrace for breakfast, sofas outside to chill out and enjoy the view of the mountains through the foliage of the garden, lovely food.
All of this comes together because Teresa is a great host, genuinely cares that her guests have a great time. Unsurprisingly when we visited there were return visitors.
The riding is fantastic, with breath-taking views, with more than enough to keep the most ambitious riders busy. Of course, having access to good roads is one thing, knowing where the routes are is something else. That's where Roger comes in - he knows his cycling, and he'll make sure you get to grips with the locale, making the most of the region with minimal faffing about.
When we went we made the Ardechoise sportive the focus of a long weekend, and Roger could not have been more helpful. Super long weekend with the boys, but equally I can imagine going back with the family for a week or two because there is plenty to do and it is just so relaxed.
