We had previously joined a trip in the Causses, which we thoroughly enjoyed. This new adventure exceeded our expectations.
From a sporting perspective, there was a fantastic variety of landscapes and trails, with the right level of challenge. The rental ORIGINE bikes were impeccably maintained, both standard and electric models available to keep the group together despite differing skill levels, and the instructor was fully engaged.
In terms of logistics, everything was perfectly coordinated, with ideal accommodations and delicious, plentiful meals.

Top-notch organization, charming and peaceful accommodation surrounded by nature. Stunning landscapes with diverse gravel routes.
The team is incredibly attentive. Last-minute bike rental was seamless, with a high-quality Origine gravel bike—a huge bonus! I’ll definitely repeat the experience to explore other regions.
