Feedbacks

We very much enjoyed our self-guided cycling tour. We had great support and communication in the planning. Throughout our week everything went off as planned. Mark B.

This was my second experience with Discover France and had, again, an amazing time with my children. If you want to discover, on your own, little cities in France, this is what you have to do. Linda G.

Our first but certainly not our last trip to beautiful France! The routes were well laid out, the app worked well, the bikes were comfortable and the hotels were excellent. Ingrid A.

We truly had a glorious time and only have compliments for you and your company. Equipment, information, assistance, accommodation were faultless and Solène at Discovery France took care of us from the first e-mail of enquiry until the end of the cycle trip. We truly can’t wait for our next adventure with Discover France. Anna.V

Hands down the best adventure organization I’ve ever worked with abroad. This will be my 5th time returning to the TdF in 2025 with Discover France. Gabriel and the reservation team do everything they can to make your trip exactly as you hope. If there’s something they can or cannot do they work with you all the way. It’s a very one-on-one, professional and reassuring process for reservations abroad. The programs are incredibly memorable, with exclusive VIP access that exceeds any other TdF organizations. Their focus is the riding, course, and to make sure your experience on a bike is as good as it can possibly be. Other programs offer different bells and whistles to their TdF packages but absolutely nothing is as exclusive, personalized, and uniquely small-group as Discover France programs. You do not need to be an expert rider for the programs. But experience and at least comfort on a bike is needed. The rides can also be tailored on a daily (or even hourly) basis to the rider/group skill, weather, overall energy level that day, and your personal preferences. Support vehicle with special French credentials allows for Discover France to provide a van with you the entire trip. Sun, clouds, rain, sleet/snow (yes…it’s the Pyrenees or Alps), hot and cold: there is always a vehicle that can help you along the way and offer a place to bring along your gear like the professionals. Shout out to: Florentin and Titouan for spectacular rides and support expertise. Finally, Thomas and Aurelian are two of the most dedicated cycling enthusiasts and leaders of a one-of-kind organization. Their dedication and leadership is evident from the top down as all of the guides and employees seem to love their works as much as they do.

Z_[DoNotUse] Chateau de Noyelles - Noyelles sur Mer

Located in the Bay of the Somme, with its changing landscapes shaped by the tides. A miracle of nature to be contemplated from Noyelles, where high quality service goes hand in hand with a warm welcome. Turrets overlooking an English-style garden, giant mirrors, sculpted marble fireplaces, the dream continues within the walls of this castle built in the middle of the last century. The eclecticism is present in the decoration with a lamp by Ferruccio Laviani at the foot of a 19th century overmantel, or an armchair signed Starck placed on a Persian carpet. In the park, two converted trailers will delight lovers of originality.
