My mom and my 15 year old daughter all agree that our e-bike tour with Marion was the absolute highlight of our already wonderful 5 days in Bourgogne. She knows the area so well, and the countryside is exceptionally beautiful. It was our first time on ebikes, and even my 68 year old mother got the hang of it really quickly. You will absolutely not want to miss this experience, it's worth every penny. Have a delicious late lunch afterwards at Restaurant du Plateau in Nancray a short distance away, or visit the Museum of Maisons Comtoises.
This was my first experience with an e-bike. I’m almost 69. Our tour bike guide, Marion, was careful to see if I was doing ok. She was super! I would recommend her.
Modern tourism poses a problem: the most popular tourist destinations are overwhelmed by an unsustainable number of visitors in the long term. Consider Carcassonne, Venice, Barcelona—stunning places, but where you have to follow the crowds, and these cities receive far more tourists than they can handle. We must therefore reinvent tourism, and our way of traveling. "Happy's Experience" offers a wonderful alternative: eco-friendly, human-scale tourism in a breathtakingly beautiful corner of France, far from the usual tourist crowds, and by electric bike. The organizer, Ms. Marion Michel, is a fantastic guide. In Franche-Comté, we visited the Osselle region, explored the ruins of a medieval castle, cycled along the Doubs River, and above all, had an unforgettable day. I highly recommend this delightful experience...and a huge thank you to Ms. Michel. We will certainly return to discover the other destinations she offers.
