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!

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!

Situated at the South side of and in the centre of Pyrenees, Ainsa is the perfect central point to explore the Spanish side of the Pyrenees. And although the rides do not contain the highest mountain passes that can be found in the Pyrenees, the rides will offer you some serious Quazy riding in a beautiful environment. With its historic centre, Ainsa is a lovely village to spend your time during the Spanish Pyrenees tour.

Kingdom of Navarre - Pamplona

Pamplona was the capital of the Kingdom of Navarre and is situated in a beautiful area in the Basque country. You will find the Pyrenees in the North and the Rioja area in the South.
