  • Séjour en famille agréable
    Tout était parfait : De nombreux contacts avec Maud avant le départ, toujours très agréable et arrangeante. Les vélos sont bien équipés, un peu lourds mais les sacoches sont vraiment géniales. Le fait d'avoir les billets des châteaux dans le téléphone, c'est génial aussi, surtout en juillet. On était 5 et chacun a apprécié ces vacances qui changent. On recommencera avec plaisir !
