French Divide 2027

French Divide is the big cycling journey that takes you across France from town to town, from Strasbourg all the way to Mendionde, with a finish that really feels like the Basque Country 🗺️.

You ride over several days, you сменge landscapes the way you turn the pages of an adventure journal, and you arrive here, in the Pyrénées-Atlantiques, with that rare feeling of having truly “done France” in one continuous ride 🚲.

And trust me, arriving in Mendionde isn’t just a line on the ground: it’s a lively village, surrounded by green hills, where the welcome is as generous as the panoramas. 🌿

After the race, stick around: go for a stroll in Espelette for its facades and its chili pepper, take a detour to Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port for its postcard charm, and head on to Bayonne for a walk along the Adour and a well-deserved terrace 🍽️.

If you’re coming as a couple or with family, plan a trip to Biarritz to see the ocean, or a gentler walk through the Basque villages around Mendionde: perfect for debriefing, taking it easy, and extending the journey without rushing 🌊.
