Booking ›

Reservations: A $500.00 per person deposit is required to reserve a space on our trips. Booking is confirmed upon receipt of this deposit. We accept payment by check only. Please make checks payable to Europeds. Final payment is due 90 days prior to the trip’s start date.

Bookings and payments are confirmed by return mail. A risk release form, also sent at this time, must be read, signed and returned to Europeds.

Cancellations and Refunds: Cancellations must be made in writing. A $400.00 per person cancellation fee will be assessed when cancellation is made more than 90 days prior to trip start date. Fifty percent (50%) of the full tour cost will be retained by Europeds when cancellation occurs between 90 days and 31 days before a trip’s start date. Full tour cost will be retained by Europeds when cancellation occurs within 30 days of the trip start date or during the trip. We highly recommend trip cancellation insurance.

Bikes ›

Bikes: Most guests on our Europeds tours prefer to bring their own bicycles to ride. If you are not going to bring your own bike, and need to rent a bike, please let us know as soon as possible.

Fitness/Trip Difficulty Ratings ›

We use a simple scale for rating the difficulty of our trips as follows:

• A = about 25 miles a day without too many hills
• B = about 30-35 miles a day with moderate (rolling hills)
• C = about 50-60 miles a day with serious hills

How to pack ›

Clothes/Attire: Along with the bike clothes you are bringing, you will also need some casual/semi dressy clothes for dinner. Generally, shorts are frowned upon at dinner in France. We do our best to respect the local customs.

Packing: Please pack light. One big bag per person is recommended. We have limited space and will be a mobile unit traveling together for much of this trip. Keeping the bags to a minimum will make our time in the shuttle vans more comfortable.

* A detailed tour specific packing list will be provided upon booking.

Transportation ›

Train/Airfare: We are very happy to consult with you regarding your travel to and around France before and after our Tour. You will need to contact a travel agent, or use the internet to purchase your air tickets and train tickets. We highly recommend the use of an experienced travel agent. They can save you time and money.

Travel Insurance: it is highly suggested that you purchase travel insurance.

* Information and applications will be provided upon booking.
