Mountain bike hire

Imagine cycling under the Mediterranean pines, the sun gently caressing your face, while turquoise coves reveal themselves at every turn. Welcome to Porquerolles, the jewel of the Var region, where cycling is not just a means of transport, but the quintessential island experience.

Porquerolles is best explored on two wheels, with over 51 kilometers of trails winding through enchanting landscapes. Renting a bike in Porquerolles gives you the freedom to explore this unspoilt island at your own pace. The shady paths guide you between centuries-old vineyards and silvery olive groves, always with the blue horizon of the Mediterranean as your travelling companion.

Steer your handlebars towards the mythical Plage Notre-Dame, often ranked among the most beautiful in Europe. The ride itself becomes an adventure, alternating between undergrowth and glimpses of the sparkling sea. For history buffs, a slightly more demanding climb will take you up to Fort Sainte-Agathe, offering breathtaking panoramic views over the whole island and the mainland.

At Cycle Porquerollais, La Méduse or Porquerolles à Vélo, each rental company offers bikes to suit all profiles: robust mountain bikes for more technical trails, electric bikes for those who want to spare their efforts, or tandems to share the experience as a couple. Families will particularly appreciate the children's carriages available for hire.

The mild Mediterranean climate means that cycling can be enjoyed almost all year round, although spring and autumn offer ideal conditions, with mild temperatures and fewer visitors than in summer. Don't forget your water bottle - the sea air makes you thirsty - and pack a swimsuit in your backpack for impromptu swimming breaks at Plage d'Argent or Plage de la Courtade.

Renting a bike in Porquerolles is not just a tourist convenience, it's a total immersion in the soul of this island where time seems to stretch like the horizon. As your wheels squeak along the ochre paths, between fragrant pine forests and colorful maquis, you'll understand why Porquerolles and cycling form a perfect tandem, a symphony of freedom on two wheels in the heart of the Mediterranean.

Cycling is the ideal way to explore the region! After Porquerolles, pedal to Narbonne, Bédoin or Val Thorens to discover the region's varied and authentic landscapes.
