France does very well in the 7 Wonders of the cycling world with 3 entries! Perhaps it is no suprise after the Tour de France as featured in www.Stuff.co.nz
STONE AGED: The Vaison-la-Romaine in Provence, France, once a bustling Roman centre, now one of the Seven Wonders of the Cycling World.
Cycling and walking tour company Headwater is always on the lookout for the lesser-known tiny treasures from around the world that still pack a punch, so for their 25th birthday, they have come up with the Seven Wonders of the Cycling World.
Vaison-la-Romaine, Provence, France: France's most extensive Roman site (4300 years old) where remains include a 6000-seat theatre, baths, houses and streets.
Pech Merle, Lot Valley, France: Rediscovered in 1922, the 2km-long prehistoric galleried caves at Pech Merle contain striking rock formations and more than 100 wall-paintings dating from 20,000-40,000 years ago - bison, mammoth, dappled ponies, hand and footprints.
Sables d'Or-Les-Pins, Brittany, France: The stunning poppy-fringed beaches are among the finest in Europe: soft white sands, clear turquoise seas and deserted sheltered coves.
