A unique and fun experience in the fields
robert_b, Dec 2024
This is a very unique and fun experience. You should definitely try the Solex. The route was also very nice through the vineyards. All was well prepared and on time. Our guide was very kind and helpful.

It was a pleasure ;)
Extraordinary experience with classic Solex bikes
Alan_H, Dec 2024
We really appreciate that Clem(Clement) collected and actually repaired these 70's Solex classics so that they are fully operational. They are ecologically sound as well as they get 100 km per 1.5 liters of fuel. We drove around the Beaumes de Venise countryside including to an ancient chapel of Notre Dame (currently closed inside for renos) and gardens which were so interesting as well as pointing out Mont Ventoux and other captivating sites. We then sampled and ended up buying beautiful well-priced wines. An extraordinary tour by an extraordinary guide. My 20 year old daughter and I had fun!

Surprise discovery in the middle of the vineyards, Oliviers..
michellC2408FF, Dec 2024
We took a great 2h walk in very good company of CLEMENT who make surprise discoveries with very interesting comments; this moment passed very quickly and to close this course a very informative and enriching tasting by Xavier exemplary advisor.
Clement accompanied us until the end of this very pleasant moment.
if you pass in this region Balm of Venice, especially do not miss this walk. on August 28, 2024, Michel and Arlette

Ce fut un plaisir :)
Unusual and very friendly walk
EC9025, Dec 2024
Very nice walk around the Beaumes-de-Venice, the Solex making the exit unusual! Clement, our Guide, is passionate and makes the outing exciting. Its Solex are in very good condition and safety standards are all respected. He also knows the surroundings very well, we were able to enjoy information, both geographical and cultural, on the different sites nearby.
The wine tasting completed the walk in the vineyards but the world present at the wine merchant made the experience less immersive, it broke with the 2 beautiful hours spent on the Solex. That remains on our review.
Do not hesitate to try, Clement having other walking routes to do in the area! We'll do it again.
