SUMMARY:France Tour 2026
DESCRIPTION:We are kicking off 2026 with a fine jaunt across France.  The event will commence in the South of France in an area near to Valence. From here there will be daily rides of approx 250 miles taking in some stunning scenery and roads. \nI am going to book the hotel for the group and will be asking for non refundable deposits from all that are going. \nAll of the costs\, dates and times will be published for those wishing to join the tour.  I will ask everyone to make their own way to France\, we will probably meet at Folkstone or Calais or even half way down in France.  The plan is to ride halfway there and find your own hotel / B+ B en-route for the Saturday evening\, 25th April. Making your way to the main hotel by the Sunday evening\, 26th as that’s when the tour officially starts. \nOn the return journey the same applies. We leave the hotel on the Friday morning and ride a distance towards Calais to get the Euro-tunnel. Staying over on the Friday night and getting to Calais during the Saturday to make your way home. \nIf you are interested for more information and book a place\, then please email stevetovee@ymail.com. \n*IMPORTANT* \nWhilst our Tours / Wizzes are open to all; we do have some safety criteria that you must meet.  So before you come forward and to avoid disappointment please read our Prepare for a Tour and ensure you are comfortable with the advice and that you do or will meet the criteria.\nIf in any doubt then discuss with the Tour/Wizz organiser.

The roads are grippy and retain most of that grip even should the worst happen and we suffer some rain ! \nStops will include the infamous John O’Groats\, various stunning stops along the north and west coasts and at least one stop on the Isle of Skye. \nAccommodation will be in Beauly\, near Inverness at The Priory Hotel\, on a dinner\, bed and breakfast basis\, so the only extras will be coffee and cake stops\, and also lunch stops once you have arrived. Oh and of course a beer in the evening! \nThe prices are :\n£142 per person per night for single occupancy in a Double or Twin Room\n£110 per person per night sharing a Double or Twin Room \nDates are May 19th – 24th\, 2026 with 12 rooms already pre-booked.
