Depuis mon adoption du mode de vie cycliste, il est impensable pour moi de dissocier vacances et vélo… Ma bicyclette me suit partout où je vais! Mon critère principal pour mes choix de destinations voyage est maintenant le côté « bike friendly » de l’endroit. Pourquoi mettre Girona (Gérone) sur votre « bucketlist » de destinations cyclistes? Énormément de cyclistes professionnels habitent ou s’entraînent à Girona parce que cette ville en a beaucoup à donner on and off the bike. Ses chemins de campagne tranquilles et vallonnés, ses ascensions difficiles, ses descentes t ..read more

Head to Lévis, on the South Shore of Quebec City. To discover three of the most beautiful bike paths in the region!

Our trip was also a "baby moon" as I am 21 weeks pregnant. It was thus our last big trip before this great adventure, but certainly not the last! We also took the opportunity to locate some places where we would like to return in winter 2023 with our baby girl.     Travelling in a van, pregnant in the second trimester, is d ..read more
