I founded 7Rides Motorcycle Tours to share my passion and enthusiasm for riding motorcycles in the Southeast of France.  From Boston USA, we moved to this region 30 years ago and have made it our home.  Quickly I discovered the joy of riding the Southeast of France where riding from coast to peak is one of the many wonderful riding experience.  Finally, having ridden a motorbike on most continents, I find that there are very few places in the world that provide the diversity of riding that this region offers.

I also wanted to offer a different experience of guided motorcycle touring.  A tour where the riders are in charge of their agenda and not the touring schedule.  Where the vacation, relaxation and fun are present, and not only suffering from grueling heat and long hours on the bike.  If a group is more attracted to cruising in Provence for a few days with late starts, we will do so.  Sunrise or Sunset rides are your thrills, we will show you the best places to experience the moment.  If your group wants an abundance of alpine curves and hairpins, we will guide you through our 1000 curves outing. If a multi-day expedition is on your bucket list, we have offers in our catalog.

I also wanted to be able to share with less experienced riders.  For novice riders we slow the rhythm, select easier roads, and help you improve your skills.

I hope you join us and let us tailor the perfect motorcycle vacation for you.  Whether it is an escapade of a few days, or a longer holiday, we will make sure that you enjoy the riding, have fun doing so and do so safely.
