Join a French-based, international group of riders on the 16th edition of ‘L’Européenne’.
A gentle introduction to long(ish) multi-day riding for those who like to sleep in a bed o’nights; or a convivial ride ‘en peloton’ for those who’ve done the bus-shelter thing, and can see the attraction of a good sit-down meal with a glass of wine, followed by a night on a soft mattress.
This event, “L’Euro P’N’ 2016: ‘La Route des Forteresses’” is organised by a group of enthusiast volunteers, in the French ’Euraudax’ style, led by a ‘capitaine de route’ and run off at c. 22.5 kmh moving average. Overnight stops are at hotels or hostels (mostly castles this year), and all meals are inclusive. Pick-up is in Paris (free secure parking for the duration), returning the following weekend by overnight coach from Prague.
Route is undulating (but not, I think, severe!), with baggage following in a van. Helpful to have some French, as this is the lingua franca.
