Note

We strive to adhere as closely as possible to the program as detailed. However, circumstances beyond our control may lead us to modify its content or itinerary (weather conditions, fully booked accommodations, etc.). In practice, depending on availability at the time of your booking, we may simply offer you alternative routes or accommodations that do not correspond to the daily program described. These adjustments, which may include occasional changes to the itinerary without altering its direction, will not constitute a valid reason for cancellation and will not entitle you to any compensation from us. We simply ensure that your trip can be carried out under the best possible conditions, taking into account the constraints of the terrain and accommodations, and respecting the specifications you provided at the time of your booking.

An excellent experience through the Brionnais countryside. The routes are very pretty and far from any traffic, always on perfectly drivable tracks. The accommodation and hosts for the evening were perfect.

We experienced a timeless stay in the Brionnais countryside. We wandered through hedged paths among our friends, the Charolais cows, and witnessed nature awakening in spring. Just a few overgrown paths that could have used some trimming, but that's part of the charm for adventurers (a point we made to our contact there). Everyone involved—Françoise and Philippe (Les Cachettes du Dahut) for accommodation and Céline (Bougres d'Ânes) for hospitality—was very friendly. Everything was well-organized, and even though there were only two of us, we felt very well looked after. In short, an excellent experience.
