12 juillet 2013 : « To Jean-Baptiste (I hope this is your e-mail address),

My name is Frank. You arranged for me to do a bicycle tour of Lille with Simon as my guide about 3 weeks ago (22 June). I am now back at work in Melbourne Australia (watching the Tour de France on TV every night here). I wanted to let you know that I had a great time on the bike tour and Simon was a wonderful guide and did a great job. He knew so much, and his English was also fine, and certainly good enough to make the tour interesting, humorous and a lot of fun. If we had to rely on my French we would have been in trouble!

Please pass on my thanks and appreciation, and e-mail address, to Simon and I really hope I can return to Lille and do another bicycle tour with you guys. My wife is very keen. She also decorates her bike with flowers so she loved the photos I took of your bikes.

Sorry for emailing all in English – I will work on my French for next time.

Regards

Frank

Do you know the best bike rental company, according to its customers, in the Lille region? It’s Le Grand Huit of course. At first glance, some people don't find our Dutch flower bikes very serious. But after a few meters they love it. And appreciate our operation by appointment and with the freedom to return the bike at any time. So read their Google and website reviews and book your turn for this spring 2024.

Happy new Olympic year. In Lille our guides will be happy to show you around the city by bike during the Olympics. Our specialty is being able to do it while having fun, but also in so many languages: English, Dutch (5 of our guides), German, Italian, Spanish. If you insist, we can even do it for you in Egyptian Arabic and Ch’ti (north of France dialect)!

Baby fun bikes. The fun bikes are always a great success, but they made some people jealous: the under eight years old who couldn't share the track with adults. At this end of 2023 we create a special event for them because they are also the most motivated in learning to cycle, especially when it is fun. Book this new activity for your event.
