The most fun on two wheels

Mark_M, Jun 2025

Clem is exceptional and provided a very special experience for our family. Nothing was too much trouble from start to finish and we experienced the very best of the French countryside on two wheels. We would recommend the experience to any visitor.

This is a very unique and fun experience. You should definitely try the Solex. The route was also very nice through the vineyards. All was well prepared and on time. Our guide was very kind and helpful.

Extraordinary experience with classic Solex bikes

Alan_H, Jul 2024

We really appreciate that Clem(Clement) collected and actually repaired these 70's Solex classics so that they are fully operational. They are ecologically sound as well as they get 100 km per 1.5 liters of fuel. We drove around the Beaumes de Venise countryside including to an ancient chapel of Notre Dame (currently closed inside for renos) and gardens which were so interesting as well as pointing out Mont Ventoux and other captivating sites. We then sampled and ended up buying beautiful well-priced wines. An extraordinary tour by an extraordinary guide. My 20 year old daughter and I had fun!

Response from Host, Jul 2024

Thank you Cynthia for this review! Really happy you had some fun on the Solex and I'm glad to have shown you Beaumes de Venise :)

Vacances au rythme du Solex

Elis_E, Jul 2024

Clément, notre guide est très passionné par le Solex, ce 2 roues d'un autre temps, mais aussi de la région. Nous avons trouvé les pauses un peu trop longues, il manque une peu de contenu. Mais c'est une expérience que je vous recommande vivement si vois êtes dans le coin 👍🏼😎
