They'll need to hire bikes and probably luggage. Can anyone recommend anyone? I guess the ideal would be in France*, but UK-based hirers also worth considering (although we'd need to transport the bikes over - planning on heading out there by train). Any other pertinent advice also welcomed!</p> <p>(*: I've already spoken to Detours de Loire)</p> <p>Cheers - Adam... </p>
