A word from Ronan Pensec,
Welcome,
It is with great pleasure that I welcome you to my tour de France Travel.
I have a passion for cycling and a passion for France, and my goal is to share both with our guests.
I began cycling seriously at 18 and turned pro in 1985. I rode my first Tour de France in 1986 where I finished 6th.
I finished 7th in 1988 and I wore the Yellow Jersey in 1990. Since my retirement as a rider I have worked as a
consultant for the French TV channel in charge of the images received by international television.
You will enjoy hotels specially selected for their French regional charm, and their ability to attend to your needs.
These hotels will always be situated close to departure and arrival locations, avoiding long and tiring bus transfers.
Our experienced, English speaking, French guides will be able to attend to your needs, and as only a local can,
will show you France from a different point of view;
My goal is to give you the opportunity to see the true heart of the Tour de France, not just as a spectator, but as a participant, and I look forward to welcoming you to the Tour.
