For the tour that we have called Monet's Trail we have chosen Rouen as the central point. Rouen is the capital of Normandy and was a thriving commercial city due to its location on the river Seine giving direct access by sea. The city was heavily bombed during WW II but on the North bank many sights have been preserved, making Rouen almost an open air museum in its entirety. The Cathedral of Our Lady inspired the French impressionist painter Claude Monet for his impressive series of impressions of the cathedral facade. So a perfect central point for our Monet inspired tour. With the rides we will be exploring this part of Normandy with some Monet inspired and other stops to fully enjoy your roadtrip here.

Belgium, and Bruges in particular, is famous for its beers ánd chocolate. As the historic city centre of Bruges is a prominent World Heritage Site of UNESCO it attracts many tourists all year round. Therefore we thought that Bruges would be the perfect central point for our Chocolate & Beer tour. We ourselves were even - pleasantly - surprised by the rides. You will notice that we are more interested in the beer than the chocolate part of this tour. We found some true nice biker roads in this area which is mainly flat. Of course we added some nice stops to the rides for you to enjoy during your Chocolate & Beer tour.
