Biking

Like a fine aged wine, savour Burgundy slowly, with time for its subtleties to penetrate. Great art, gastronomic food, and a history fermented with religion and royalty are your first tastes.

We started coming to this region in the 1980’s, attracted by quiet country roads and wonderful scenery, with castles seemingly around every corner; the Dordogne now has superb hotels and restaurants.

From the Unesco World Heritage site of the Kinderdijk to the chocolate makers in Bruges, this is a unique journey in Europe. Come and explore by yourself...

Base yourself in two spectacular locations in the “valley of the kings”. Ride through world-famous vineyards to troglodyte houses and breathtaking châteaux.

Explore villages with twisting streets, houses painted in a rainbow of colors... On one of the days, search out the famous vineyards at Châteauneuf-du-Pape or conquer the famous Mont Ventoux.

Like the bouquet of a spicy Zinfandel, the wine country of California, north of San Francisco, opens up to reveal many delights and pleasures. Synonymous with great wine and fine food and dining.

From Pamplona to Santiago de Compostela. Since the 10th Century, pilgrims have come (by foot and now bicycle) from near and far to experience this enigma of Spain.

This is a special tour in an unusual region, and together they constitute a unique opportunity. Bienvenue en Haute Provence, explore and have fun riding bike where it is best!

Only 1 hour south of Paris lies a region that since the Renaissance has been a favorite of kings and the aristocracy; the Loire River valley is dotted with fine chateaux...

Pedal through the pretty valley of the Maacama Creek and onto the flat lands of the Russian River Valley. Explore extensive vineyards along the edge of the Geysers, the world’s largest geothermal field.

On Day 7, ride to Girona, where professional cyclists often live and train off-season (attracted by the climate and food, just like us). Stop to visit the castle that Dali lived at in Pubol.

Sip again and find white cows dotting green pastures embraced by hedgerows, and villages where you are greeted with a wave and friendly “Bonne Route!”. Self-guided biking is THE way to discover Burgundy.
