Cycling for Softies Brochure

Cycling for Softies from Susi Madron's offers a relaxed way to discover rural France by bicycle, travelling gently between small, family-owned hotels and savouring the local food and wine along the way.

A Greener Way to Travel

Where once Susi Madron's holidaymakers travelled by ferry and coach, many now arrive by train, Eurostar and TGV. Cycling between hotels uses up puff rather than ozone, and the small, individually owned hotels in rural France pride themselves on buying locally, from their neighbouring producers of food and wine.

Cycling the Byways of Rural France

France is the only country with a network of rural roads, and increasingly a network of cycle paths, which means blissful cycling away from the traffic. The slow pace of the bicycle is ideal as a way of experiencing another way of living.

• Quiet rural roads and a growing network of cycle paths
• Wonderful family-owned hotels offering a warm welcome
• Delicious dinners, with gentle exercise making room for each evening meal

An Addictive Experience

The slow pace of cycling, where gentle exercise makes room for each delicious evening meal, lets travellers truly experience another way of living. Each year 75% of holidaymakers return, and also bring their friends, because cycling the byways of rural France can become seriously addictive.
