Over the years I have holidayed on most continents – sailing, skiing, walking, touring, but I keep coming back to cycling through rural France. It’s truly a place of passion… for cuisine, for art, for history, for people and of course, for wine. Two decades ago I began representing Susi Madron’s Cycling for Softies holidays in Australia and Oceania because (apart from being the innovators of this great holiday idea) they provided real value and choices that experienced travellers enjoy. The personal attention to detail is reflected in the whole experience, the intimate knowledge of the regions, the carefully chosen hotels and chateaux for accommodation and highly regarded restaurants.

Some more differences… independence - cycle when it suits you, leaving the hotel as you please with your partner or friends; travel at your own pace through lush countryside and picture-perfect villages exploring chateaux on the way; start any day from April to October; stay two nights in each village giving you time to absorb the local area, and, at the end of the day fully appreciate that delicious meal waiting for you; and we cater for children. It’s a holiday that stays in your mind and heart for a very long time. People keep coming back, which speaks for itself.

Join us soon on one of our fabulous holidays, a ‘Tour de Softie’, designed for people who want to enjoy the experience, by becoming immersed in this unique culture.

Bonnes vacances
