This tour was amazing! We loved our bikes, we loved the routes and we loved the tours! We think this would be an incredible multi-generational tour based on the home base of the barge. Could be a very fun teens, families with small babies (who could just ride the barge), parents and grandparents kinda trip.

I loved riding on the rural country roads and observing the fabulous French countryside. I also loved the dinners prepared by the chef.
