Cycling and wine holiday in Bordeaux
How this holiday makes a difference
Environment
As a member of several associations promoting the betterment of our environment (Transportation Alternatives in New York, Pro-Velo in Geneva and Bourgeons in Annemasse, France), we are proud to offer our clients an environmentally conscious way of travelling on pollution-free bicycles. By synchronizing the logistics of all our clients' trips in a single region, only one transfer is needed to transport their luggage. In doing this, we strive to limit our carbon while allowing you to travel with ease and piece of mind.
We are committed to carrying out this mission in all facets of our work and will happily extend our 50-euro cycling advocacy discount to trip leaders belonging to local advocacy groups.
Our Bordeaux's Medoc tour takes you through France's beautiful Medoc Peninsula, between Europe's biggest Gironde estuary and the Atlantic Ocean. It is organized on a self-guided basis, offering you the chance to experience such natural beauty while leaving behind a smaller footprint than would a guided tour.
Community
Over five days, you'll cycle through the region's many areas such as Le Pian-Medoc and Moulis-en-Medoc, where you'll no longer be an observer, but a peaceful and friendly actor of local people, environment and culture. Throughout the itinerary, sights like Chateau Lafite Rothschild - a wine estate owned by members of the Rothschild banking family of France - offer visitors the chance to contribute to the local economy while allowing these producers to showcase their materials to an international clientele.
Relying on local guides and family-owned hotels, you will be ensured a warm, personalized welcome. All properties are run by people who have a passion for their region and its cultural, gastronomic and historical heritage. We use genuine places with local charm, blending harmoniously into the environment. Our hotels offer guests a pleasant, nice-sized environment. Some of them have as few as two rooms, while others are small human-sized hotels.
