Monet's Trail - Rouen

Monet's Trail - Rouen

When we think of Normandy, we immediately think of the D-Day landing beaches and the Operation Overlord that took place there. But Normandy has WAY MORE to offer than just WWII memorials. In this tour we are exploring the more inland part of beautiful Normandy and we have taken the French impressionist painter Claude Monet as our inspiration.

Sipping Champagne - Epernay

Sipping Champagne - Epernay

There is a saying on the 3 most famous French wines: Bourgogne makes you think of silly things, Bordeaux makes you talk about them, and Champagne makes you do them. So we had to come and explore the Champagne area in a Quazy Rides tour! We're exploring the Parc naturel régional de la Montagne de Reims, the Marne valley, the vineyards and champagne villages in the so called Golden Triangle of Champagne during the day and getting to know everything about the "devine nectar" after 2 beautiful rides at night. Including some tasting of course!

Sipping Champagne rides
Dutch Mountains - Valkenburg

Dutch Mountains - Valkenburg

Officially the province of Limburg of the Netherlands does not have any mountains, but it sure has hills. Therefor it is called Het Heuvelland: the hilly country! So a good area for some nice motorcycle riding on plenty of winding roads. Valkenburg is a very popular destination for tourists and therefor has all the facilities you would want to make this a perfect place to stay during the Dutch Mountains tour.

Market Garden - Eindhoven

Market Garden - Eindhoven

The rides of the Market Garden tour are filled with interesting memorials and museums, but of course, also nice riding through the “Kempen” and "Peel en Maas” areas.

Medieval Morvan - Avallon

Medieval Morvan - Avallon

WOW WOW WOW! Wow is actually the only word we can think of when we think of the 3 rides that we have in the Morvan It really felt like we found a hidden gem! The Morvan, also called the green lungs of the Bourgogne, is a natural park with mountains, hills, forests, lakes and rivers.......and a lot of very nice twisting roads to discover it all with a beautiful motorcycle tour. And with good stops for drinks, food and a bit of sigthseeing if you want in very enjoyable medieval towns - one even more pretty than the other - we had an AMAZING time with our Medieval Morvan tour. And pssssst. let me tell you a little secret. Ride 3 was our absolute favourite!

Clogs & Windmills - Haarlem

Clogs & Windmills - Haarlem

The Clogs & Windmills tour will take you to the lovely city of Haarlem, just East of Amsterdam in the Netherlands. The rides will let you explore the part of the Netherlands that is actually called Holland: the provinces of North and South Holland. You will be able to see clogs and windmills, as that where Holland is famous for. And although this part of the Netherlands is completely flat and even most of it below sea level, there is some nice riding to do over dikes and backroads, bringing you to some #1 tourist highlights in the Netherlands!

Battle of the Somme - Arras

Battle of the Somme - Arras

Arras is the capital of the Pas-de-Calais department in the North of France and located just north of the Somme Valley. During World War I, the great war, Arras was literally hit in the heart and almost completely destroyed. The battlefields of the Western front and the Battle of the Somme in particular lie along the river Somme and its tributaries between Arras and Amiens in the direction South / South-west of Arras.
