I am planning a tandem bicycle trip (likely via a supported-tour company) for our honeymoon and wanted to get some ideas on the best times of year to go. Is April - June a fine time to visit any place in Italy or Southern France? Is April too cold and/or rainy? Is June too hot? Thanks for any pointers and suggestions. I would also appreciate any leads on supported/organized tours for these regions or recommendations as to whether we should do Italy (what part?) or Provence.

Thanks!

Well, in my limited experience, Italy could be a bit chilly and rainy in early to mid April, but that was just during one year. BTW, southern Italy--south of Rome, is beautiful, not too touristy, and great for riding.

Go like early May and get the heck out by the end of June when it's soooooo hot! April is a bit cool-ish for me.
