Loire Valley – Ride, Wine and Dine

Not a confident cyclist? The Loire à Vélo is a flat, traffic free cycle path, which is perfect for those wanting to leisurely enjoy everything the Loire Valley has to offer. Ride along the tranquil Loire river, past picturesque villages and of course the magnificent Chateau de Chambord that you can enter to discover its grand history.

We recommend you take some time to relax in the banks of the Loire with a glass of locally produced wine, as you will most likely cycle past the vineyards where it originated.

Japan – Immerse Yourselves into a Fascinating Culture

Venturing out of your comfort zone is just as rewarding when you do it with someone you love, especially when it means discovering a completely new culture together. Japan is rich with culture inspiringly different to that of Europe, what with meticulously designed temples, flavoursome food and fascinating traditions, all of which you can experience on your ride.

A particular highlight of your holiday that takes you through the peaceful and mysterious countryside of Southern Japan, is taking a dip in one of the thousands of hot springs.
