ice, fun slides on improvised slopes… until you reach
the night camp.
Here, you will experience what it feels like to set up
your own “guest house for the night” - an IGLOO!!
Once you've achieved this feat, your guide will reward

A cycle ride specially designed with families in

the Drôme and its tributary streams along bucolic
paths and very quiet minor roads. In the distance the
towering cliffs of Vercors add a grandiose feeling to
these landscapes which already have a provençal
aspect. Henceforth, from chambres d'hôtes to
chambres d'hôtes, from swimming stop to swimming
stop, you will reach the Roman town of Die, followed
by Crest with its medieval keep and, after having
crossed the Ramières nature reserve, your journey
will reach its end amongst the peach and cherry
orchards of the Rhône valley.

including chambre d'hôtes or half board hotel
accommodation, luggage transport, a detailed
road book, technical back-up and train transfer.
