A big first: a two-wheeled trip for Chèvres. And we're doing it in style: from Hanoi in Vietnam to Luang Prabang in Laos, we're off for a dozen days of cycling and almost 800 km. A cultural immersion by bike, where we discover Vietnam and Laos from a completely unique angle.
Renée-Claude Bastien will accompany you on this unique trip, along with Éric, a specialist in this type of cycling, to meet extraordinary people and live at the rhythm of our bikes. A support vehicle will follow us all the way, so we won't be carrying our luggage. It's going to be the adventure of a lifetime!
Registration details can be found in the "To know" tab.
