No for security reasons, our canine friends are not allowed.
 

What meals are included ?

French cuisine is well established, so why deny it?
Always in moderation, of course ! All of our tours offer you to taste local products, but also advise you on places to visit (vineyards, etc ...) and specialties to sample. However, the services of each tour are different, we recommend you  to read the description.
Concerning the included meals, if you have a specific requirement (vegetarian. ..), let us know when booking, so we can make the arrangements with our hotels and restaurants.
In general, beverages are not included with the meal.

 

What is the difference between 1, 2, 3 or 4 stars hotels ?

The classification of hotels is based on their fittings and services offered to the clients. Most of our hotels belong to category 2 or 3 stars. This classification will guarantee you a high quality of service, toilet and shower services in the room, as a minimum.
Most of these hotels also have a restaurant, and if this is not the case, they have an agreement with a restaurant located near the hotel. You can also ask to let your bike in a garage or a  special place dedicated to that in your room. The hotels of our tours are used to host cycling clients, so do not worry about it. In general, our hotels ensure  a good quality service and focus on the comfort of their customers. Extra services may be available in some hotels, such as picnics.

 

Is there tours in guest rooms ?

Yes, week-ends and short stay in Marais Poitevin and partly on Gironde tours. We advice you before booking and the quality of the guest rooms is the quality of a 2 stars hotel. Meals are served in a restaurant nearby or on site, in case of "guest dinner and room" (table d'hôte in french)

The various connections to the starting points may be settled with our office. Our agency can also get information and book for you airplane, TGV trains, but also local trains and car rental.
 

Am I totally independent in these tours in freedom ?
