French Tour 2008Tour to the French Alps
June 14th - 27th 2008.
I am now collecting deposits for next years Tour. If you are worried about costs, Your initial outlay would be as follows:
At the time of booking and for the 14 night trip you need to find between £120 - £130 per person for deposits on the 2 main hotels.
Approx £25 deposit on your Ferry Booking.
Approx£11 deposit on one of the 3 transition hotels we shall be using.
You are provided with instructions as to how to book the Ferry.
Brittany Ferries will take the balance of the ferry fare from you on about the 29th April 2008.
You are provided with instructions as to book the transition hotels and with the exception of one, which takes an £11 non refundable deposit, no charge is made to your card until you actually stay.
All of the above are paid for and/or reserved by you against a Credit or Debit Card direct with the booking site. Other than the one hotel requiring an £11 deposit, there are no charges made for cancellations provided more than a days notice is given.
The deposit required to reserve the two main hotels is payable by cheque or cash to me and I will make confirm the group reservation. The balance is not payable until you actually stay. Hotel Le Marrinnier will refund in full with 30 days notice, then a sliding scale. Hotel le Dahu is not clear but provided sufficient notice is given, only the deposit is at risk. (Travel insurance will cover any unavoidable cancellations in any case.)
All of the hotels accept Mastercard or Visa.
If you have not had details of the Tour (I'd be surprised if you had overlooked them LOL), have lost them or require the up-to-date version of the Itiniary and costs and/or the Booking Instructions and Disclaimer/Booking form just Email me at The Club's Email address and I'll send them out to you.
I will just reiterate that this Tour has been arranged at cost, there is no profit being made, neither is the organisor (me) benifiting from any reduced rates (OK I got pick of the rooms at the two main Hotels but hey, I deserve that perk for doing all the work). Have a look at what the Motorcycle Tour companies will charge you and what you get compared to what this Tour costs and what it involves. They don't come anywhere near close. Our accomodation is as good if not better than anything they will offer and the areas we will be riding in are some of the best for roads and scenery in Europe. In addition, consideration has been given to those who do not want to Ride Out each day and the main hotels have facilities to appeal to all. The travelling does not amount to an endurance event and the emphasis is on having a great time on HOLIDAY!!!
Come and join us having the greatest time you can legally have on a motorcycle with some of the best people around. Don't be shy.
