Are you looking to stay further north in France? With plenty of motorcycle routes in France and plenty of things to do 'off the bike' too, places like  Normandy in the northwest region of France are great for all types of bikers. Plus, if you're looking for endurance-filled action, Le Mans is only an hour-and-a-half ride from Normandy. Famous for its 24-hour motor race, Le Mans attracts car and motorcycle enthusiasts from all over the world and is a great place to stop while you enjoy your motorcycle tour in France.

If you prefer to take a more relaxed approach to your motorcycle tour, the Alsace wine route would be a great choice. Ride some of the best touring roads through picturesque wine-growing villages.

A motorcycle tour to Alsace also allows you to ride over the border into Germany to continue your motorcycle touring across Europe and explore the Black Forest - another favourite area with motorcyclists. If you plan to visit the Black Forest, then you must include a ride along the B500 - one of the oldest and best-known motorcycle tour roads in Germany!

When is the best time to go motorcycling in Europe?

Arguably, all seasons offer something very different for an unforgettable motorcycle tour across Europe. However, if you want to avoid the crowds, try planning your motorcycle tour slightly out of the holiday season. Spring and Autumn will still offer plenty of fantastic scenery as the seasons change, and much like Summer, it can still offer seasonably warm weather throughout Europe. April – October will be your best time to plan a motorcycle tour in Europe.

Remember that we also offer night-time and early-morning sailings on all our routes if you wish to hit the open road a little earlier in the day!
