Fantastic ride with Loic for 3 days! I organised this ride with Loic from Australia via email and Loic was very professional in his correspondence and efficient. My wife and I were traveling to Europe for a month and he managed to put together a 3 days one-on-one guided tour for me over 3 countries (Mont Blanc Tour). My wife stayed in Aix les bains which was the meeting point for the bike tour. Loic personally picked me up the evening before the tour to finalise the paperwork and to… Read more “Awesome Experience and Fantastic Scenery!”

We began our trip with three days in Paris and then took the train to Aix les Bains to begin our motorcycling adventure. While in Paris we visited The Mary Celeste bar where the bar tender invented “The French Ride” drink; I can’t stress enough how good that drink was. Go there and demand a French Ride. I’ve travelled to England, France, Germany, Italy, Switzerland, Japan and China but never got outside the typical tourist & business areas. My trip with The French Ride redefined what France is for me;… Read more “Best European Vacation Ever”

The best roads, the best views, the best overnights, and a real challenge. Loic makes friends everywhere, is a great riding companion, was extremely patient with my broken French, et c’est un excellent pilote (and is an excellent rider)… !

Since the dawn of mankind, we have existentially been asking ourselves: What is the purpose of [a motorcyclist’s] life? Why are we [bikers] here? To answer that question, I did the bike trip, as you might. Think about it… Why did I spend 70 years of my life honing my dirt skills, street savvy, take the racing schools track time and long trips on all those bikes? For what purpose? I found the purpose. I found the payoff. All previous was just a warm-up, a tune-up, for this ride with… Read more “Ride of a Lifetime”

We rented two Suzuki V-Stroms 650, they where perfect for our ride in the French, Swiss and Italian Alps. The bikes came fully equipped with panniers, top cases, tank bags, rain gear and tomtom GPS at no additional cost! You can also choose to have a lower seat. The bikes are in tip top condition, no unpleasant surprises on the road. If you are looking to rent a motorcycle I highly recommend them! They are super professional and reliable!

From start to finish Loic and The French Ride was truly outstanding. Professional and thorough, nothing was too much trouble for Loic for our 2 days self guided trip in the Annecy area. Bike was in immaculate, the loan equipment brand new and good quality, and the tour programmed to the last turn in the GPS. Also a really good route, amazing scenery, plenty of hairpins and the hotel booked for us was really nice. We will certainly use The French Ride again, and came away really satisfied in value… Read more “Just Outstanding”

The roads and scenery! Like how did Loïc (the owner) find these roads? They were incredible! Well he did tell me how he found the roads; he said that he loves to ride and had fully explored them. My friend just texted me “I’m impressed and proud of you Trevor. I followed your whole motorcycle mission on Instagram. You did something most people only dream or talk about”…

Loic laid out the best plans ever for my first motorcycle trip to Italy. The roads, the hotels, the food, the motorcycle, the whole itinerary was fabulous and exciting, can’t wait to do it again.

Thank you for a brilliant day. Nice bikes, perfect to go to the twisty turns through the alps. Loic set us a great route on the free gps on the bike! It is really worth the money.

Amazing service, great communication and well maintained bikes. Highly recommended

We had a great time with my partner riding along the Alpes! The motorbikes are in fantastic condition and the tour was very smooth every step of the way. We highly recommend “The French Ride”!

I contacted several rental firms when I had a free weekend in Europe. Loïc was fast to respond and never tired of my constant stream of questions via email. He met me at the train station and within an hour I was headed out with the GPS guiding my every turn through fantastic roads in France, Switzerland, and Italy. The 650 V-Strom was quite new and easily up to the task of climbing, twisting, and descending through constant and unbelievable scenery. I’ll be looking for another chance to spend time… Read more “Fantastic Weekend Adventure”

French Alps by pillion : Trip of a lifetime, well planned, well prepared, all I had to do was arrive at the station and the rest was quite literally “in the wind”. This was my first time in France, my first time through the beautiful French Alps, not to mention ridding on the back of a bike with a man I had never met before. Before I knew it I trusted him so much I was napping on the back of the bike and we were winding our way through… Read more “Trip of a lifetime”

We rented two bikes to travel to South of France and couldn’t have been happier with our decision, from the booking to pick up and return it all went perfectly. The bikes we had were well maintained and in very good condition, as were the helmets and riding gear, the only thing I brought from home with me were my boots. Loïc is very knowledgeable, great to deal with and makes sure that you get to know the hidden gems of South of France. We appreciated that Loïc always took… Read more “The ONLY way to tour France by bike”

I took the solo ‘Northern Alps Wonders’ tour ride, 5 days through the French, Swiss, and Italian Alps. It was an incredible experience. The rides are fun and challenging, the scenery is constantly beautiful, and all of the hotels that The French Ride handles for you were very clean and accommodating. The bike (V-Strom 1000) was in excellent shape and great for the mountain roads. Loïc is an interesting an helpful guy who stays very professional even when something goes wrong. If you ride, and plan to go to Europe,… Read more “An amazing experience”

What an incredible experience, truly a trip of a lifetime for us. Everything from our first inquiry on booking the trip to being dropped off at the train station was superbly organized and the level of customer service made everything so easy… Oh and the beauty of your country and the Alps left us speechless! Thank you.

Loïc is a very knowledgeable and respectful guide, he provided excellent advice before, during and after our tour. We did a weekend tour around Annecy and had a wonderful time, enjoying the French specialities with amazing views, great hospitality, and unforgettable memories! Definitely recommend The French Ride and already planning our next tour.
