Sustainable Tourism and reduced prices !
On some of our trips, you have the possibility to choose the "Ecotour"
option. The idea is to be totally independant all trip long, without
any tranfert of luggage with a car.
At your disposal a trailer fixed on one of your bikes. You take your
luggage with you. If you travel "light", no problem to carry
it.
This
option allows you to:
- minimize the impact of your trip on
the environment
- reinforce your feeling of independance,
and itinerant adventure.

Tranferts of luggage with a car costs a lot. If you don't use this
service, your travel will be cheaper!
