1. What was the most memorable or exciting part of your holiday?

Cycling up to Sancerre laden with wine I had bought at a tasting but being rewarded for the hard climb with a fantastic view from the top and later drinking the wine at dinner!

2. What tips would you give other travellers booking this holiday?

Travel light. There isn't much space in the cabins and you don't need loads of evening clothes. However pack a jumper as in early September it was a bit chilly sitting outside in the evenings.

3. Did you feel that your holiday benefited local people, and minimized impacts on the environment?

Our trip included stops every day for coffee and cake shop stops. We also visited castles, a garden etc.

4. Finally, how would you rate your holiday overall?

I really enjoyed the holiday. All 18 of us got on very well and each day's cycling was just the right amount of cycling and sight-seeing. Martin & Marjorie's hospitality and food were excellent. Our cycle guide, Yon Willan (sorry - don't know spelling) was fantastic and I will miss having him around!
