Do I need to be an experienced cyclist?

No. E-bikes handle most of the pedalling effort, and the route is guided at a moderate pace with breaks built in. The 7-hour duration includes sightseeing time, not continuous riding.

What is included in the oyster tasting?

A selection of fresh Cancale oysters and a glass of local white wine, tasted in the harbour area. If you have dietary restrictions, contact the supplier in advance.

What happens in bad weather?

The Emerald Coast has sheltered sections, and e-bikes are suitable for light rain. Confirm the supplier's weather cancellation policy when booking; heavy storms may trigger rescheduling.

Are e-bikes included, or do I need my own bike?

E-bikes are provided as part of the tour. You simply ride; the bike handles the steep sections.

How much riding is there versus sightseeing?

Out of 7 hours, approximately 4–5 hours are active cycling, with the remainder spent on guides' commentary, photo stops, harbour exploration, and the oyster tasting experience.

Can I do this as a one-way trip, or do I return to Saint-Malo?

The tour is guided between the two towns; confirm return logistics (bus shuttle or arranged transport) with the supplier, as this isn't specified in the standard offering.
