Requirements
GRADE 3 - MODERATE This trip involves 10 days cycling between 50 and 90km / 31 and 56mi per day usually along paved cycle paths and quiet county roads. The terrain is mostly flat for the first half, with hills encountered in the last stages to Paris. In and out of the cities there will be some traffic. You need only carry your camera/rain gear and water bottle. Your luggage is transported for you between hotels/inns. Due to the long distances cycled you will need a good level of fitness to enjoy this tour. It is possible to hire electric bikes to help lower the trip grading. Note that parts of the ride are on unpaved roads or with cobblestones (in historic cities). *For safety reasons, we insist that cycle helmets be included as a compulsory item on your equipment list and we do provide one for each client. Bike helmet* (provided), mobile phone holder, wet weather gear, daypack, water bottle and sun protection. A comprehensive gear list is included in the pre-departure information provided on booking. *For safety reasons, we insist that cycle helmets are worn whilst cycling.,
