  Motorcycling in France

Roads interest

In all regions of France, and especially in the south, you'll find unforgettable motorcycling roads.

Road surface quality

Pretty good, despite some secondary roads are sometimes a bit damaged, as well as some mountain roads.

Landscapes

Many regions are very beautiful, and each one at his own way, that's why France is so interessant to visit.

General atmosphere / safety

Let's say we can as much meet really welcoming people as moaning ones !! Considering safety, it depends on the region, open your eyes and be a minimum careful and everything will be OK.

Car drivers behaviour

Either stressed and agressive or slow and unattentive, and in both cases sure that he is the best driver in the world (stupid, because everybody knows it's me).

Speed controls

Automatic controls and manned ones are now everywhere, even on secondary roads...be careful.

If your are from European union, passport or identity card are enough.

  • 1 L of fuel: 1.20 E
  • 1 night in camping : 12 E (tent)
  • 1 night in hotel : from 40 E

habitant au pays basque je trouve bien evidement cette region tres agreable a rouler. les circuits touristiques y sont nombreux et toute s les duree de roulages sont possible. cependant il vaut mieux visiter cette region de mai a mi juillet et de septembre a octobre .en effet les touristes et camping caristes y sont tres present et leur conduite souvent non previsible. le summum est d aller rouler en espagne car meme la departementale la plus petite beneficie d un revetement digne de n importe quel circuit francais . la circulation peu dense en montagne et meme sur le littoral entre hendaye et bilbao ( tres belle corniche surplombant la mer )
