Bike Box Storage in France
I am going to France with 3 friends in late July to see the
last week of the Tour. I have been trying to make arrangements to store 3 hard sided cases without much luck. I tried the hotel where we start and end our trip and they do not have room to store the cases. Has anyone out there done this recently and if so where did you keep your case while riding? Our car is not going to be big enough. Thanks! |

Re: Bike Box Storage in France
I think your best bet is to find a hotel that will agree
to store the cases, and make it a condition of staying there. The only other alternative I know about is to store at the airport or a train station, but that might cost a fortune.

Re: Bike Box Storage in France
I'd try a local bike shop. Maybe buy a jersey or something
from them or pay storage. I have found local bike shops very helpful. -- Steve Juniper "One of the few good things about modern times: If you die horribly on television, you will not have died in vain.

Re: Bike Box Storage in France
Hello from France...
> I think your best bet is to find a hotel that will > agree to store the cases, and make it a condition of > staying there. I think this might be a good solution. The problem is that as this time of the year, hotels usually don't lack clients and may don't bother loosing 2 or 3 peoples... I'm sure however that you may find some places with nice people that will understand you... that may takes some time to find out ! In which town is your hotel ? > The only other alternative I know about is to store at the > airport or a train station, but that might cost a fortune. Don't even think about that... Since many years (even before 11/09/2001) where some bombing accored in stations, the storing area in airports and stations have been closed... Depending on the place you go, another valuable solution may be to reach some local bike association. Usually people having the same hobbies and probably encountered some of its issues may be willing to take care of your stuff. If you tell me where you go, i'll try to find a local association contact for you.
