CYCLING WEEKEND and a STAY IN A CHATEAU !!

This article has been prepared by - http://www.frenchcyclingadventures.com/faqs/contact-us/


Ever pondered on the possibility of a long weekend in France, enjoying the delights
of rural France and taking in the fresh air on a carefully arranged and mapped cycle
tour of a region ?   At the close of each day, you will rest in a comfortable and vetted
chateau or hotel, which following a day in the saddle is always very welcome.

In South West France for example,  there are quite a lot of chateaux - around 146 in
the department of the 'Gers' alone!   Although some of these buildings are in fact no
longer of habitable condition, many are.   Again, some are occupied by those lucky
individuals who are able to cope with the considerable running costs of these monoliths
which, believe you me are quite something !  Despite this, plenty of other chateaux are
available, and it is always a pleasure to pass a night in these interesting and delightful
places along with the undoubted ambience they provide.

With extra quiet roads and the knowledge that most french people are at ease and
aware of cyclists on the roads ( most of them are cyclists too ) - this is a truly great
way to sample the delights of the french countryside, and then pop back home again.

Indeed, with the TGV rail network and it's good links to the South West of France you
can travel for example  to Bordeaux or Agen with your  own bike as well.  A better option
is to hire a bike via the facilities of a professional tour operator in your selected region.
Flights will of course be available to transfer you to the start of your tour, but
bear in mind that the taxi transfer to and from your hotel may be quite a distance  from
the airport (taxi fares are usually quite expensive in rural France ), so choose a tour
operator who includes the taxi transfer in the cost of the weekend.

Normally, a choice of bikes will be available, eg mountain bike, aluminium road bike,
carbon road bike, hybrid bike and perhaps a choice of electric bike too, when you
choose a professional to support your mini break.

Again, with a fully supported tour for your week-end, you can enjoy the many benefits
and support given by tour professionals.  Assistance should include route guidance, maps
and a welcome meeting, a safety and food pack,  puncture assistance  and all
those other little extras you may need.

Remember to take your mobile or smartphone, and of course the camera for those
special moments to record.
