with a change of dates must be made at least 3 working days before the start of the trip.
You can book online on our website or phone us or email us.
Bookings are accepted as long as there are still availabilities.

and our confirmation of the accommodation.
If you book online and the availabilities are missing, an advisor will contact you to propose some adjustments and get your approval before he/she confirms your booking. If there is a price
discrepancy, you will be reimbursed or will have to pay the difference. If you don't agree with the new arrangement proposed, the amount paid online will be repaid to you.

The remaining balance is due the latest 30 days before departure. If the balance hasn't been paid 15 days before departure, it will be considered as a cancelation of the trip by the traveler.
If you book your trip less than 30 days before departure, the total amount of the trip is due in one go.
What to do if my rented bike is stolen or damaged?
Our prices don’t include insurances for the bikes or the persons in the event of accidents. We strongly advise you to cover these risks with your own insurance.
What shall I do if my rented bike has mechanical problems?
The rented bicycles are very resistant hybrid bikes, regularly maintained by cycling professionals. However, unpredictable mechanical problems can still occur. We request you to be able to do the
easy repairs by yourself, like place back a chain or repair a flat tire. You will find a tutorial at the end of our road books about how to deal with these simple repairs as well as a repairing
toolkit provided with your bicycles. As a last resort, the professional will come help.
If you ride your own bikes, you shall not forget to take your own repairing toolkit with recent patches and glue, sandpaper, tyre changers and a pump adjusted to your valve.
We designed itineraries aimed at families with short stages passing mostly through cycling paths and small quiet country roads. We provide you with the appropriate equipment for your children:
trailer bikes for your children between 5 and 7 years old
bike trailers for your babies or children until 40 kg
Except in some regions, we can provide tandems and electric bikes. There is no extra for a tandem, the extra cost for an electric bike varies depending on the rental duration. You can find the detailed rates by clicking on the button “Prices” in each trip description.
How difficult are the tours? Are they for everyone?
We, Vélo Voyageur, design trips accessible to anyone. That's why we offer the option to rent an electric bicycle when available. Nevertheless, you have to know how to ride a bicycle and be declared
able by your doctor.
The difficulty levels rank from 1 bicycle to 5 bicycles, 1 bicycle being the easiest level and 5 the most demanding.
The 1st level is open to people of any age, including children from 7 year old on their bicycles.
The 2nd level usually present some climbs but easy to ride.
The 3rd level routes are hilly but are still manageable because the distances are short.
Only the 2 last levels require an athletic condition.
If during you trip you don't want to ride your bicycle anymore, we organize your transfer by taxi but all the extra cost will be charged (you pay on spot).
The emergency number is the +33 9 70 40 85 22. We analyze your situation and find a solution or put you in touch with the most appropriate person as quickly as possible.
In partnership with Chapka, we offer a cancellation insurance and a multirisk insurance (including cancellation). You can view the General Terms and Conditions by clicking here. Our insurances can

For North American travelers: We recommends purchasing a travel/accident policy at home. It is never a bad idea to protect a carefully-planned trip with coverage for delays, illness, lost luggage,
and even natural disasters-the best travel insurance can soften the impact of unforeseen events. Although it is not mandatory, it is recommended and facilitates peace of mind before and during your
trip. This article can help you research the industry and find the right travel insurance provider.
It is mandatory to wear a helmet. It will be provided with your bike on demand except if not available on our trip description. For hygiene and comfort, we strongly recommend you to bring yours if you have one.
