SW FRANCE: Honeymoon accommodation with tandem
A romantic lakeside cabin in the woods in the Dordogne in SW France. This rustic cabin makes a perfect romantic escape or honeymoon hideaway. It's ideal for cyclists and comes with its own bicycle made for two (as the old song goes!). The cabin is slightly off-grid, it's low-tech and very eco-friendly, making use of alternative energy for heating and lighting.
The package includes, fresh flowers and champagne on arrival, a three course dinner for two on the first night, brekafast provisions delivery fresh each morning and, of course, use of the tandem!
Try the general cycle touring section too
The providers we list on this page are (mainly) offering dedicated tandem trips, or make a point of welcoming tandem riders on their general cycling tours, but our experience is that many, if not most, cycle touring companies will be happy to accommodate tandems, so we'd urge you to also check out that section here»
It goes without saying that you should the company know you'll be on a tandem as this may affect things like pick-up/drop-off transport or overnight storage options.
