    Hi all,

    My brother and his partner are coming over from NZ in April, and he's mentioned a plan to do some bike touring along the Loire. 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!

    (*: I've already spoken to Detours de Loire)

    Cheers - Adam...

    We used Biking France four years ago. In fact we did this specific circular tour:

    Pretty tame and laid back, one day is only 12km, although we did the longer option. They do luggage transfers.

    This website might be useful, you've no doubt seen it already:

    Also, I found this in my bookmarks; haven't re-read it but I seem to recall that it was quite interesting at the time:
