fun on three wheels

A Motorcyclists' Dream Week

**SPECIAL EVENT **

Ride Classic and modern machines and try out sidecars. all in one sun drenched week.
Price* from £1395
Ask for availability

Back to Top

We have put together a real melange of motorcycles and motorcycling experiences for you to enjoy in the beautiful setting and sunshine of Provence.

    This week basically comprises three categories
  • Fun with a side car. Never ridden a bike with a side car before? Now's your chance. We will show you how, before letting you loose on some of the best Mediterranean roads to see some of the local history and stunning views. But never fear, we will always be right behind (or infront of) you. There are organised trips out to get the best experiences possible from this different aspect of motorcycling – and believe us – it IS different.
  • Classic motorcycling on a range of bikes from the 1950s to 1980s - try a different bike each session on our classic bike tours
  • Self Discovery Take out one of our modern bikes to explore the area yourself, or go with a guide if you prefer.


Where else will you get the opportunity to ride so many different machines and do such a variety of activities on two wheels?

And what of your partner? - Pillion riders are very welcome, or if they don't like riding there is plenty to do and see around our base at St Remy (if lazing by the pool seems a little too arduous).
So, not only will you have the week of a life-time in the company of other motorcycle enthusiasts, you will also have the (almost) guaranteed sunshine of Provence, the flavour of the Mediterranean, and the relief that someone else has to clean the bikes at the end of the day !!
Come and join us. Places are limited so hurry and reserve yours.

Price:from £560 Solo Riders/ Rider+Pillion £700

The recently opened Millau bridge spanning the Tarn Valley is the tallest road bridge in the world and really is a sight to behold. Compare that with one of the oldest, most famous bridges in the world, the Roman Pont du Gard, and you can't help but marvel at the construction of both these structures
Our 3 day tour will take you on a trip through time, showing you some amazing feats of engineering, past and present. We head west towards the Gorge du Tarn through the magnificent Parc des Cevennes, one of Europe's largest national parks, where we ride through quiet, unspoilt countryside, giving open roads with no traffic for much of the way. Our destination is Millau, where we will cross the newly built viaduct, seemingly on a trip across the edge of the world. It's worth spending some time at the visitor centre in Millau learning how this amazing structure was put in place.On our homeward bound journey we will pass by the impressive 'Cirque de Navacelles'. This is a deep cicular basin which was created when the river Vis carved an oxbow in the rock, creating spectacular views when observed from the plateau 300m above the hamlet of Navacelles. And finally, having experienced one of the most modern bridges of out time, we will take you back 2000 years or so to see the world renowned Pont du Gard.
This tour will be taken at a relaxed pace with plenty of stops to take in the scenery, and marvel at the peace and tranquility of this beautiful area.

Solo riders from £560. Rider & pillion £700.Price includes 2 nights' accommodation based on shared room, 3 days touring (bike and guide included) with 3rd party bike insurance. Supplement for single room, on request. Price does not include meals (other than breakfast) or fuel.
