Lunches :
Every lunch are free. You will ride through
villages where you could meet shops (butcher, baker, grocer,
restaurants…) for your picnic. In your itinerary, you will
see notes ‘Food & drinks’ which means that you will be able

are closed on Sundays and Mondays. This is why we suggest
you have always some snacks with you !
