France is a country known for its scenic diversity and mountains. The hilly landscape offers cyclists and cycling enthusiasts many opportunities to tackle challenging routes and enjoy breathtaking landscapes. Among the many offers, the road cycling passes in France are particularly impressive. Here I present the 20 highest road bike passes in France, including some passes that are part of the famous Tour de France, such as the Col de l'Iséran, Col d'Allos, Col du Galibier and others. But many other passes that are not part of the Tour de France are also presented here. Whether amateur or professional cyclists, these passes are a must for anyone who is looking for a challenge and the beauty
