BMW The Ultimate Riding Machine

13-19 May 2013 (775 miles)

7 days / 6 nights

Highlights:

• Take it easy along the gentle meandering roads of the Loire Valley

• Explore the historic towns of Amiens, Rouen, Chartres and Saumur

• Wander through medieval Bayeux and look at its famous tapestry

• View the famous chateaux of Azay-le-Rideau and Chenonceaux

This is a great introduction to touring abroad, and also appeals to those riders who just want to take it easy, relax and enjoy riding on the rural roads of Northern France. With low mileages and meandering cross-country routes, as well as notable destinations each night, this journey is the epitome of relaxed motorcycle touring. We will spend two nights in Saumur, a truly charming town in the Loire Valley, which

spreads onto the river banks. Here, we can enjoy the wonderful atmosphere, sip some of the region’s delicate sparkling wine in a small riverside café or two and sample the local delicacy (mushrooms!).
