I would like to take a supported tour in Austria or France where my wife could also participate as a non-cyclist. Are there tours where there are parallel non-cycling programs?

Talk to the tour operators via email and inquire as to your wife riding along in the SAG, or traveling via rail with a EuroRail Pass-which can be purchased in advance with multiple trips/destinations-and she can get to the 'next' town ahead of you... sight see, shop, check into the hotel, etc before you arrive each day. You'll have your evenings together and during the day you ride while she either investigates a new area/town or she rides along behind you taking in the sights as well as being in your company when you break for meals, rests, etc.
