Feedbacks
All worked very well thank you, Baux was beautiful and a surprisingly easy ascent. Thanks again for all your help
The bikes are working just fine. The routes are very nice. The guiding app also drains the battery very fast, butt the power supply gift has come in handy! Hotels were mostly excellent. We did find a wonder place for lunch in St Quentin: Very ni ... ce, simple food and delicious ice cream!
