Alsace bicycling vacation in Northern France

Planet

Traveling by bike, you are no longer an observer — you are an active participant in the local environment and culture.

Traveling on small and quiet roads, this tour will allow you to experience part of the rural countryside and ride through famous and not-so-famous small and authentic villages that all so well illustrate the multi-faceted Alsatian character.

During this trip you may get the best out of fine local produce – tasting Riesling’s exceptional wines and directly buying authentic Alsatian food to local producers like flammekueche, choucroute, pain d'epices (gingerbread), and more.

We recommend travel by train, a much more eco-friendly solution. To travel within Europe, we recommend taking trains over renting cars using or air transports. Trains are more energy-efficient and will minimize the CO2 emission per capita.

In cities, we recommend clients to use public transportation, or to walk or bike. City bike rentals are more and more widely available in big and medium-sized cities across Europe they are the best way to get around congested cities.
