MEET THE TEAM

Thomas, team Discover France

Cycling is my main means of transportation.

Thomas Planet

Bike Mechanic

The role of cycling in your life?
Cycling is my main means of transportation – both for commuting and for travel.

Your favorite trip?
Last year, I left from Montpellier and rode all the way to a guesthouse near the Alps. I did a few rides in the area before heading back down along the Rhône and the coast, returning to Montpellier. It was a beautiful journey.

A travel anecdote about you?
During a short spring ride north of Mont Aigoual a few years ago, under clear skies, I ended up getting caught in snow just a few kilometers from the summit…
I crossed the pass on foot, trying not to slip – quite an unusual experience!

Your favorite French region and why?
Probably the Cévennes and the nearby Causses, because that’s where I first started riding. You can find all kinds of terrain there: long, steady climbs, shorter and steeper ones, even some short, very steep hills and long false flats across the Causses – a real treat! And the view from Mont Aigoual is something else: you can see the sea during the climb, and on clear days at the top, even the Alps and the Pyrenees!

A must-try French specialty?
Beef bourguignon – what a delight!

A hidden talent?
I really enjoy drawing in my free time.
