French Alps
Our home! We are based right in the Alps, steps from Geneva… We see the Mont-Blanc on a daily basis (or at least when the weather is not cloudy). We love our home! Being wedged between Italy and Switzerland, this area “the French Alps” has a rich multi-cultural heritage. Sites and beautiful villages are many, but they play second fiddle to the extraordinary beauty of the natural landscape: lakes, rivers, and mountains are works of art that have to be experienced! And there’s no better way to experience them than by bike!
We offer an unmatched selection of tours in the French Alps. Surprisingly enough, not all are for mountain-goat type of riders! We do have some easy rides that everyone can do… and the views over the mountains are sensational

Cycling tours are a great way for families to explore a new region or country. From your bicycle seat, you’ll get to know a place–with its own history, culture, sights, and smells – in a way that isn’t necessarily possible when traveling by car or train. It’s an ever-changing adventure, full of new and […]

As cycling has become enormously popular in France, bike rentals have really mushroomed. Renting a bike is now far easier than ever before. But there are quite a few things to consider when renting a bike in France. Hybrids are available throughout France. Usually, they’re entry-level aluminum models. All come with triple-chaining; and most come with […]

After studying up on the traditions of Valentine’s Day from around the world, I have come to the conclusion that there are certain prevailing themes everywhere. Though the types, meanings, and methods may differ, flowers, sweets, and cards appear in almost all the countries that recognize the holiday. There is some variance in how gifts […]
