One or more holidays is a good way to get to know the area. A cycling holiday offers a slower pace than travelling by car, and is often off the main routes, allowing you to develop a feel for the region.

All of these allow you to see local life and get a feel for the area and the people. Although a bicycle is slower than a car, in terms of learning about an area this slower pace is often an advantage rather than a disadvantage. So, if you are looking to move to France, a cycling holiday can help to learn about the area when you may be buying your French property.
