| Traveled in June 2023

The bikes were in good condition and we had plenty of space for our things. We really liked our hotels in Strasbourg, Obernai and Requewihr. They had great facilities and we loved their proximity to the town centers. The spa's in Obernai and Req ... uewihr were an added bonus after a day of biking.

We just finished a week biking in the Alsace with my wife, a trip we organized through Discover France (with the amazing Gabriel), and it was truly a once in a lifetime experience. Everything, from the bike roads, to the App, to the amazing hote ... ls and magical towns, everything was just perfect. We enjoyed every minute!!!

The trip was magical. The hotels were wonderful & charming. I would recommend Discover France without hesitation if you are considering a self guided bike tour. We would absolutely travel through them again. As well if you are considering places ... to bike, the Alsace Wine route was a perfect trip for us. We cannot wait for our next adventure!
