Traveling in a more affordable fashion provides us with an opportunity
to meet and interact with people from all over the world. We have
become friends with many interesting people from different countries,
and continue to maintain friendships with them.
The places we stay, the cafes we patronize, and the riding and
spectating of the Tour stages create wonderful opportunities to meet
others and truly immerse yourself in the experiences of France, the
Tour de France, and the people who have come to share in the
experience.

We enjoy a French breakfast each morning at our guest
house and sometimes enjoy a family style meal in the
evening at the guest house as well.
For our sag wagon support, we use a van instead of buses.
We ride to virtually all our destinations, averaging 40 – 90
miles (80 – 150 km.) per day. By eliminating the large
vehicles we eliminate costs while increasing our fun on the
bicycle – we’re in France to ride our bikes!

The difference between an affordable bike trip from
Experience the Tour and more expensive bike trips is
surprisingly small. We stay in small guest houses instead of
