The popularity of Bob Minion's bank holiday motorcycle tours of Northern France shows no sign of diminishing with the latest trip's clientele, comprising 36 bikers, being the largest for many years.
"Around 70% of the bikers were repeat customers," said Mark Minion, sales director of the Derby Honda dealership, which has been organising continental tours for more than 10 years.
"The reason our trips are so popular is quite simple - no worries. We take care of everything, including the ferry, good quality accommodation, escort to the base in France and a choice of pre-planned interesting routes in the region to enjoy with the benefit of an experienced guide.
"This means there are no hassles and the bikers can relax and fully enjoy the pleasure of riding through the beautiful French countryside.
The fact that you are with a bunch of friendly bikers is another big plus."
On this occasion the group was based in Dinan, an enchanting, medieval town and an ideal location for exploring the north-west region of Brittany. From here the bikers enjoyed ride-outs over three days to the historic U-boat pens at St Nazaire, the famous port of St Malo, attractive seaside towns, the bustling cathedral city of Rennes, the cosmopolitan coastal resort of Dinard, parts of Normandy, and the surrounding area. Despite having previously visited France on Bob Minion trips, Bill Cove and his wife Vivian can never get over how beautiful the countryside is, the low volume of traffic and how considerate car drivers tend to be.
