About this route
The Berlin to Paris corridor is one of Europe's busiest cycling routes. Many riders ship their bikes ahead for the Tour de France spectator season or training camps in the French Alps. The Rhine Valley on the German side and Champagne on the French side offer stunning riding on both ends of this route.
Beyond the headline cities, the corridor passes through Strasbourg, a city where French and German cycling traditions blend seamlessly. Alsace's vineyard roads and the Black Forest's forested climbs make the border region itself a destination worth riding. Gravel events on both sides of the Rhine have exploded in popularity, drawing participants who ship bikes specifically for race weekends.
buycycle handles the full door-to-door logistics between Germany and France, with professional packing and tracking at every stage. Transit typically takes three to five business days, and full coverage is included so your bike is protected from pickup to delivery.
