Cycle trip with La Bicyclette Verte : « you cycle, we take care of the rest »

 

This is a good summary of our philosophy and the bike tours we offer. We select for you the most beautiful destinations, suitable for cycling. On each circuit we take care of:

  • Locate a specific route as far as possible from the cars with accessible stages, allowing you to move forward and visit at your own pace.
  • Practice the route from A to Z to ensure its viability.
  • Collect as much tourist and cultural information as possible to allow you to fully discover the region.
  • Find charming and / or quality accommodation suitable for the bicycle trip.
  • Prepare and offer quality equipment, for everyone (hybrid bike, electrically assisted bicycle, child trailer, tandem ...).
  • Find a local and skilled partners if we cannot be there.

The answer is most certainly "yes" (unless medical contraindication of course). In addition, the Electrically Assisted Bike can be a good alternative.
  • Our level 2 tours range from 40 to 60 km per day (without elevation gain) or 5 hours of cycling maximum.
