Mountain biking through beautiful southern France
Experience an unforgettable MTB trip in the Côtes du Languedoc-Roussillon, in sunny southern France (about 100 km from the Spanish border). You will cycle through vast vineyards, quiet ancient villages, green forests and on beautiful gravel and stony mountain trails, with routes past lakes and dams. We also visit a vineyard for a tasting.
We stay 5 days in Roujan (Maison de la Plume), where we ride a different route each day. The tours can be adapted to any level (from relaxed to heavy), tailored to the group. You will stay in comfortable rooms with private shower/toilet, with cosy shared living room/kitchen, terrace, secure bike storage and (in summer) swimming pool.
Includes: breakfast, packed lunch, hot evening meal, 1 dinner in a local restaurant and 1 lunch on location. We will arrange everything on location; you arrange your own transport to France (plane or car, bikes can come along in consultation). The trip is accompanied by two experienced guides: Hans Molewijk and Edgar Vijgenboom.
