BelleFrance

Wildly overpriced Luxury Grand Cru cycling trip. The the gourmet restaurant in Pauillac on day 1 is never open on Mondays or Tuesdays but those are two of the days Belle France says you can start the tour. Dinner was at a bistro. The private chateau in Margaux is a filthy unkept place and the restaurant is the same. The chateau promised on day 3 turned into a clos in Marcamp with a clean but tiny room. The cafe was a taxi drive away and while it was good it was not a gourmet restaurant. St Emilion was as promised - a luxury hotel with a gourmet dinner. We met some people who booked the same tour with Cyclomundo for 1/4 the price. I would recommend that since they even provide the maps electronically,. The 4500 Euro you save for 2 people will easily cover the cost of a room and dinner at the Hosteliere du Plaissance in St Emilion which was the only luxurious bit of that trip.

Although the rain was unkind and kept us from some of our cycling, the beautiful hotels and amazing meals more than made up for the inconvenience. It was a very memorable trip and one that I had always dreamed of making in my lifetime. Worth every $$$

We were very happy and impressed by every element of our Belle France holiday. The team were helpful and welcoming at every stage, in the UK and France. We loved the eclectic choice of guest houses and hotels which took us to corners of Provence we would never have found ourselves. The Luberon is stunning! Great equipment, everything as promised with no fuss. We would highly recommend Belle France if you fancy a cycling holiday in Provence with the perfect blend of achievement and reward!
