Paris Bicycle Tours 2024/2025

“The tour was very well designed, allowing a variety of options for WW1 cemetery/memorial visits. To get the most out of the route (which contains far more than what you can fit in each day) it is recommended to do some research before the tour. The Australian, Canadian, British and French memorials were incredibly moving. It was all so interesting! The route was varied across farming areas, small villages and well thought out access into the larger towns and cities. The choice of hotels were excellent (and we appreciated our early bookings ensuring we had great rooms and locations). Just make sure you plan to have food in your panniers, as there were very few places to stop for food out in the countryside! We had a fantastic time, and thoroughly enjoyed exploring this important part of Australia's war history, in Europe, at cycle pace.”

“The accommodation was excellent with clean hotels and friendly staff. The trip through France was a little challenging being hilly and with distances of about 70 kms each day. Once we got to Belgium and Holland the terrain was flat and the cycling easy despite similar distances each day. Cycling in these countries is an absolute pleasure with great cycling infrastructure and very polite motorists who invariably give way.”

“We were happy with the standard of accommodation, the locations were excellent, especially in Amien, Arras and Bethune, where our hotels overlooked or were next to the town squares. And our bags were always waiting for us. We didnt experience any problems with the bikes and the route maps were easy to follow. We liked how the routes kept us away from busy main roads unless it was absolutely necessary. Overall it was an excellent tour and we would recommend it. For us, it was a great introduction to cycling in Europe.”
