At DolceVia, we offer a range of bikes suitable for all travel styles and levels:

• High-end electric bikes: With a range of 200 km, these bikes are perfect for those who want to enjoy their trip with reduced effort, even on long distances or hilly routes.

• Traditional touring bikes: Ideal for cyclists who prefer to pedal without assistance and experience an authentic journey.

• Gravel bikes: Designed for the more athletic, these versatile bikes combine speed and comfort on all types of terrain, whether road or more technical.

To select our cycling trips, at DolceVia we rely on recognized, secure, and signposted routes, such as those offered by France Vélo Tourisme. Here are some examples of iconic routes we like to offer:

• Véloscénie: From Paris to Mont Saint-Michel, through varied landscapes, heritage treasures, and of course local gastronomy.

• La Scandibérique: A French portion of EuroVelo 3 that connects Norway to Spain.

• La Seine à vélo: A bucolic route between Paris and the sea.

• L’Avenue Verte: From Paris to London, a classic for connecting two capitals.

• La Vélomaritime: Along the Channel coast, from Roscoff to Dunkirk. These routes are selected for their maintenance, safety, and unique charm throughout the year.

To organize your cycling holiday, here are the steps recommended by DolceVia:

• Define your expectations: Duration of the trip, level of difficulty (elevation, distance), type of bike (electric, gravel, mountain bike), budget.

• Choose your destination on https://www.dolcevia.eu/destinations: Get inspired by iconic routes or let us guide you in your choice.

• Plan your trip https://planner.dolcevia.eu/: Book your accommodations and stages carefully. Our cycling trip planner can help you save time.

• Anticipate logistics: Think about your return (train, bike transport, etc.) or the return of your rental bike.

• Prepare your equipment: Panniers, cycling shorts, lights, locks, etc. If you lack equipment, we can provide it for you.

Yes, at DolceVia (https://www.dolcevia.eu/), we offer a one-way bike rental service. This means you can rent a bike in one city, for example in Paris, and return it in another city, such as Saint-Malo or Lyon.

We handle the logistics and transportation of the bike from one point to another, so you can travel light and without constraints. This service allows you to fully enjoy your cycling trip without worrying about transporting equipment, all with simplicity.

Cycling tours offer a multitude of benefits, and here are DolceVia's (https://www.dolcevia.eu/) arguments:

• Disconnection and well-being: Enjoy a moment out of time to recharge.

• Physical activity accessible to all: Whether you are an experienced athlete or a beginner, even with an electric bike, cycling tours are made for you.

• Eco-friendly and local travel: Discover the richness of our regions and their terroirs while reducing your ecological footprint.

At DolceVia (https://www.dolcevia.eu/), we offer you the choice between an organized cycling trip or a self-guided trip, always with safety in mind.

An organized trip includes the presence of an expert guide who accompanies you throughout the journey. This guide knows the routes, points of interest, and best local addresses perfectly. They are also there to ensure your safety and provide a friendly and personalized experience.

On the other hand, a self-guided trip allows you to explore at your own pace, following a precise itinerary provided by us. We provide you with a GPX track that you can load onto your bike's screen or follow directly via your phone using an app we provide. This allows you to travel serenely without the risk of getting lost, while maintaining complete freedom over your breaks, detours, or daily organization.

At DolceVia (https://www.dolcevia.eu/), we provide all the basic equipment:

• Lock, helmet, and lights for your safety.

• Two waterproof 20L panniers per bike to carry your belongings.

• Phone mount to easily follow our GPX track via an app.

• Repair kit for small unforeseen events.

On your side, think about preparing:

• Appropriate clothing: Short/long cycling shorts, gloves, breathable and rainproof clothing depending on the season.

• First aid kit: Bandages, disinfectant, basic medications.

We take care of the essentials so you can travel with peace of mind!

The distance you cover each day depends on many factors: your level, your desires, but also the type of bike you use (electric or traditional) and the composition of your group, especially if you are traveling with family.

For amateur cyclists, we generally recommend stages of 40 to 70 km per day, a comfortable distance to enjoy the scenery while remaining accessible. For more experienced cyclists or those who opt for an electric bike, it is entirely possible to aim for longer routes.

Whatever the case, at DolceVia (https://www.dolcevia.eu/), we adapt to your requests and design tailor-made trips based on your abilities and desires. Whether you want a sporty trip or a leisurely family getaway, we are here to create the perfect itinerary for you.
