To help you get more of a flavour of what we offer on our french cycling holiday in the Loire Valley, here are some questions we are frequently asked:

Is it best to bring my own bike or hire?

We are able to provide good quality touring bikes , sized according to your needs, less than three years old and impeccably maintained. People always feel more at home on their own bikes and so it's no problem to bring your own.  

Can I start a cycling holiday on a day other than Sunday?

Yes depending on our other commitments! Call us to discuss your plans.

How fit do I need to be?

To get the most out of your holiday you would need to be comfortable with cycling 45kms in one day, split either side of lunch over an itinerary that is mostly flat and at a pace that is quite relaxed.

Are you accessible if I'm arriving from outside Europe?

Definitely. It is possible to catch the high speed train (TGV) at Charles de Gaulle Airport (Paris) to St Pierre des Corps station in Tours.   Change train at St Pierre des Corps for Saumur (you don’t even need to change platform) which is a further 25 minutes.  We can then arrange a transfer  to us at Gue de Ray.  Click here for more details.

What should I wear?

Lightweight, summer sports clothing suit the conditions we generally experience while padded shorts can be a real bonus by the time you have done a few routes! You might want to bring water/wind proof tops just in case! For footwear lightweight trainers are fine, but we'd advise against new white ones - as we do use forest tracks.

Do I need travel insurance?

Yes - you need to be able to provide us with proof of your travel insurance, which needs to cover you for cycling while on holiday, medical expenses and repatriation to your home country.

What happens if the weather makes cycling impossible?

If the weather is awful and cycling isn’t an option, we will take you to a local attraction or head out for some wine tasting.  We will ensure that the day is not wasted!
