MEET THE TEAM

The "Giant of Provence" (Mont Ventoux) was part of my childhood, visible from my bedroom window.

Mathilde Fresnel

Sales Director

The role of cycling in your life?
A sport that’s way more fun than hiking! And a means of transportation.

Your favorite trip?
From Passau to Vienna, one of my first cycling trips.

A travel anecdote about you?
Still on that Passau–Vienna trip: 10 days of riding in the rain, and we came home without our bikes – they were stolen in Vienna!!! But despite that, amazing memories and many more trips followed: Canal du Midi, Nantes–Brest Canal, Nivernais Canal… now with the kids 🙂
Another great memory (a bit more positive!): climbing Mont Ventoux multiple times – always just as spectacular and challenging. The “Giant of Provence” was part of my childhood; I could see it from my bedroom window, so I had to ride it one day!

Your favorite French region and why?
Provence – and under the sun, please!

A must-try French specialty?
Wine… but not under the sun!

A hidden talent?
For my team, I’m capable of crashing (that’s the easy part), getting my hand stitched up in the middle of a trip by a rural doctor… just to keep going, push through, and enjoy every moment!

Discover France in one word?
A beautiful discovery.
