Corsica and Sardinia Motorcycle Tour

After a meet and greet at the Euro Tunnel and a little train trip to France we then jump straight onto the motorway for the first hour and half. Exiting the motorway we will be checking out the Route Nationals heading south between Paris and Reims, stopping for lunch in Soissons. Fun filled back roads all the way down to Troyes for our first night together. Some nice food, drink and chat as we start to make new friends.

Today its south all the way down through the Parc National de Forets, Dijon and onto the Mussif de Chartreuse to Grenoble with the temp rising the further south we go.

It's more travelling due South today as we make our way from Grenoble to the ferry port at Toulon on the Med Coast. Starting the day riding the fantastic D1075 on the edge of the Vercors down through Sisteron, cutting through the Luberon National Park across the Sainte-Baume National Park and onto the Med Coast ready for our overnight ferry to Corsica.

After the overnight ferry crossing to Corsica we will ride the Coast road around the Northern Peninsula then make our way to Calvi for our nights stay. A stunning days ride which leaves you in no doubt what Corsica is all about.

Leaving Calvi after a great night out down at the harbour we head south following the fantastic west coast road which traces the rugged shore line for over 100 miles. Fantastic riding with stunning coastal views all day long. Our hotel for the next two nights is literally on the beach. Sand between your toes as you sip a cold beer in the bar.

Today is a total wind down day. Lazing on the beach, swim in the sea, hire a jet ski or canoe, even paddle board or just sit back enjoying the view and sink a couple of cold ones, why not you're on holiday.

Coast to coast to coast. Heading over the east coast today. Fast flowing mountain roads, through beautiful forests all with breath taking scenery. We then hug the east coast road down through Porto - Vecchio and down the the southern Port of Bonifacio for the night.

First thing this morning we catch the 1 hour ferry from Bonifacio in Corsica to Santa Teresa Gallura in Sardinia. From here we head down through the heart of Sardinia on stunning roads with views to die for. We finish the day making our way over to the East coast and the hotel for the night.

We start the day heading inland from the East Coast to ride North through the Golfo di Orosei National Park across to Olbia on the East Coast and round to Santa Teresa for the last night in Sardinia. There is a reason a lot of bike launches are held on this island.

First thing this morning we catch the ferry to Corsica and head up the West Coast on stunning roads up to Ajaccio for the overnight ferry to France.

Once off the ferry we head North to ride the Verdon Gorge, across to Castellane to join the Route Napoleon all the way up to Grenoble for the night.

Its north all the way today on fast flowing smooth tarmac through beautiful rolling countryside. The French are the best at putting both of these elements together to produce a brilliant days riding, covering the mileage with no motorways used. Troyes tonight, which is always a great place to eat up in the old town quarter.

A quick blast up through Northern France but only the last hour and half are on the motorway as we make our way to Calais. Its a fun route to finish the tour.
