This holiday is led by a self-guided app, which contains the personalised details of your complete holiday itinerary. This includes the GPS-led routes for you to follow on your self-guided cycling and walking tours, as well as attractions, coffee stops and points of interest in the towns and cities along the way. The app does not need to have Wi-Fi connection to work, you simply follow the instructions we provide you to download the app to your phone before you leave home and you are ready to go.

Each mobile comes with a different expected battery life so we suggest you pack a spare battery pack with you just in case you require it.

You can expect to receive your Self-Guided Pack containing your tour booklet and all your relevant holiday documents no later than 3 weeks before your holiday start date. We will send your documents using signed for courier so that you can track your package and know that they are safely on their way to you. Should your self-guided trip be part of a longer adventure requiring you to leave home more than three weeks before your holiday start date, please do inform our sales team so that we can make alternative delivery arrangements.

Our Self-Guided Holidays are perfect for your next family holiday and are suitable for children of all ages.

Our partner hotels and accommodations are able to provide cots for young children, and some offer family rooms. We can also arrange hire of children’s bikes and tag along bikes for most of our self-guided cycling trips and with trips such as Lake Constance and the Danube offering routes on designated cycle paths you can rest assured in keeping your family safe.

As a parent we trust that you know your own child’s capabilities, so please read the itinerary details to ensure the distances covered each day are suitable for your family. If this is a first time walking holiday for your family, a centre based trip is a fantastic option as it allows you to easily opt out of a days walking if a day of building sand castles, swimming in the pool or visiting museums is calling instead.

Please discuss this further with our sales team who will be happy to assist in picking the best trip for your family.

French cuisine is ingrained in French culture and is one of the country’s greatest contributions to the world. It is filled with passion; a celebration of the rich natural flavours of basic ingredients, to be enjoyed with one of the country’s fine wines. Meal times are leisurely, a time to be enjoyed with good company and are an experience to be savoured.

Cuisine in Burgundy is perhaps some of the richest in France thanks largely to the fantastic wines which form the base of many sauces, and the Charolais cattle, one of the world’s finest beef cattle which are farmed in the region. With this in mind you are likely to see dishes such as boeuf bouguignon served in almost every restaurant along with other popular dishes such as Snails in white wine and shallots, or jambon persille.

Along your route you will find many appealing cafes for lunch, or you may be swayed by the delicious scents of the local boulangerie to enjoy a picnic of fresh bread and delicious local goat’s cheeses- they are superb in this part of France. Needless to say cycling in the Burgundy is not just a journey but a treat for your taste buds!

This trip has been designed with tradition in mind. You will stay in a selection of 3* & 4* hotels each chosen for their warm hospitality, fantastic locations and clever mix of modern amenities and French style, enhancing the features of the traditional buildings, rich in the history of the area. All hotels offer complimentary wifi.

All of the hotels offer a typically French continental breakfast of delicious fresh breads and pastries served with your morning coffee. Some hotels also offer additional hot items.

It is possible to arrange additional nights accommodation if you would like to extend your time in Dijon or Chalon-sur-Saone. Please speak to one of our sales team for further information.

E-bike hire is included in the cost of this holiday. Equipped with a battery and motor, these electric bikes give you a helping hand whilst you are pedalling, making it easier to climb hills, and travel further with less effort and more comfort.

Bikes come equipped with a pannier and a handlebar bag for your daily essentials plus lights, a bike lock, pump and repair kit. It would be a good idea to bring a handlebar mount which is compatible with your smartphone.

The minimum age for riding e-bikes in France is 12 years. A minimum height of 150cm is recommended for e-bikes. We will reserve the appropriate size of bike for you based on your height.

We strongly recommend for you to bring your own helmet with you for the best comfort. We also recommend packing a gel seat for extra comfort or a pair of padded cycling shorts, whilst the cycling is leisurely and there are plenty of opportunities to stop and explore it is always nice to have some padding for a comfortable ride.

We can also arrange children’s follow-me tandems, trailers and child seats if you wish to travel with a younger family.

Your main luggage will be transferred between each of your hotels while you are out on your bike. We ask that you please ensure your luggage is limited to one piece under 20kg per person, and that your luggage is ready for collection each morning.
