This self-guided trip operates any day between April 1st and October 31st. It visits one of the most picturesque regions of France, Alsace, which is also one of the most cycle friendly. Designated bike paths and quiet country backroads provide a perfect route along France's oldest wine route, with beautiful countryside and villages. Cycling trips are the best way to explore because you have more time to appreciate the changing landscapes and get to know locals in the villages and towns you pass through while having a minimal impact on your environment. This slow style of travel not only affords you more time to appreciate the natural beauty of the region but also positively contributes to the regions that host you. The tour is aligned with 'Leave No Trace', an international organization that has set the global standard for outdoor ethics. The Waste Management Policy encourages travelers to take their own reusable water bottles, coffee cups, and reusable stuff sacks to avoid single-use plastics. The preferred accommodations used on this trip are locally owned and not part of big international hotel chains, ensuring tourist spend stays within the area and benefits local people. Examples include the family-run Hôtel le Riquewihr and the Beauséjour Hôtel in Colmar, which has been run by the same family for five generations and serves delicious homemade products at breakfast. This trip is bed & breakfast only, giving you the opportunity to try the local restaurants and cafes, which helps to contribute to the local area. You are encouraged to visit local wine 'caves' to sample wine and support local wineries.
