“ Catalogne, Pâques 2019 ”
On the 2019-05-03 by Marlen
Une fois encore, nous avons été pleinement satisfaits par l'organisation et les découvertes proposées par le Vélo voyageur! Beau voyage, nature la plupart du temps magnifiques, belles observations d'oiseaux au fil du chemin et dans les parcs naturels...Et quel chance de pouvoir se faire transporter ses bagages d'une étape à l'autre!
Nous recommandons sans hésiter ce voyage!
“ 3 days in Catlonia ”

Another great custom trip organised by Vélo Voyageur. Great scenery, from beaches to hill-top villages to vineyards. Lovely route mostly on gravel paths or very quiet roads. Logistics and organisation all excellent. 14 very happy people!

“ La Costa Brava à vélo ”
On the 2016-09-11 by Ronald
Nous avons eu beaucoup de plaisir à parcourir la Catalogne en vélo. Il s’agissait de notre troisième voyage avec le Vélo Voyageur. Le parcours en 8 jours de Gérone à Figueres, en passant par la Costa Brava, est très facile à suivre. Le paysage est varié, le trajet traversant des pâturages, des vignes, des oliveraies, des rizières, des vergers, des villages médiévaux, un site gréco-romain, des forêts de chêne-liège et la côte méditerranéenne. C’est merveilleux de se jeter à la mer, ou dans la piscine de l’hôtel, à la fin d’une journée de bicyclette.
Trois visites de vignobles et chais étaient prévues et nous en avons réservé une quatrième visite par nous-même. Les trois visites prévues étaient variées : un petit vignoble agrobiologique, une coopérative d’huile d’olive et de vin, et un charmant vignoble de montagne proposant des vins plus structurés.
“ Belle découverte ”
On the 2016-05-01 by Martine
Ce beau circuit nous a fait découvrir des villes et paysages de la Costa Brava comme de l'intérieur de l'Emporda.
Le parcours, sans grandes difficultés, emprunte des petites routes, des chemins de terre et des voies vertes.
Très bon accueil sur place, aussi bien du correspondant local que dans les hébergements.
