Epic crossings

These crossings have something that others don't...
One day, we hear about them. Once, twice, three times... An article in a magazine. A colleague, a friend, a girlfriend has taken the plunge. The idea takes root in our minds... Then it becomes clearer and clearer, before becoming urgent. One day, for sure, I'll do it! Here are all our Great Mythical Crossings, the ones that are (a little) challenging, but also give you goosebumps when you reach the finish line. Crossing a mountain range, a chain of mountains or a coastline with rugged terrain, these great crossings have something magical and mythical about them. And you, in the middle of it all, happy to have taken the plunge!

Spring and autumn getaways

Because summer isn't the only season that counts, and because some destinations are much more pleasant in spring and autumn, we offer a selection of holidays and trips to enjoy away from the crowds, where the sun shines longer. Witnessing the first spring blooms or driving through the yellow and orange foliage of autumn are temptations that are hard to resist!

Centre-based tours in the most beautiful gravel cycling destination in France. Comfortable accomodation, a large choice of daily rides, minus the stress of packing your bags each morning.

With their quiet back roads, gorges, and cols, certain regions seem to have been designed for gravel cyclists! Regions that invite us to explore them in more depth, over the course of a long weekend or a week, from a single relaxing base camp.
