Based in Tours, Rodolphe designs motorcycle trips across France and Europe, focusing on secondary roads, iconic mountain passes and characterful routes that turn every journey into a true travel experience.
My name is Rodolphe and I now live in Tours, surrounded by road maps, field scouting trips and long motorcycle crossings. Originally from Charente and French Guiana, and trained as a geographer, I have been designing and organizing journeys for over thirty years. Motorcycling naturally became part of my path about fifteen years ago. I mainly ride trail and scrambler bikes, seeking out secondary roads, high mountain passes and territories that tell a story.
What drives me is simple: turning an itinerary into a true experience. A motorcycle trip is not just about connecting two points it needs rhythm, character and coherence. I take the time to listen, refine and adjust each project to create journeys that leave a lasting impression and make you want to set off again as soon as you return.

Traveling by motorcycle in Europe or through the Alps immediately brings images to mind: legendary mountain passes, winding roads through dramatic peaks, long straight lines cutting across mineral landscapes. My work is to take that raw desire and shape it into a coherent, balanced and genuinely enjoyable itinerary.
The Alps are often a natural reference point not as a checklist of famous signs to photograph, but as a backbone around which the rest is built. Some passes are best discovered at sunrise; others require slowing down, stopping and taking your time. Sometimes, it even makes sense to leave the best-known road to follow a more confidential alternative. It is in these choices that the difference between a classic route and a true motorcycle experience is made.
Among the journeys I particularly enjoy are the great European crossings: the Dolomites, the Balkans, Andalusia, the Highlands… These territories leave a strong impression, of course. Yet what moves me most are the connections between two iconic places: a perfectly shaped secondary road, a lesser-known yet more authentic pass, an improvised stop in a lively village. That is often where the journey gains depth.
Over time, I have refined my own approach to asphalt travel. Finding the right balance between riding pleasure and discovery, adapting the pace to the terrain, selecting accommodations aligned with the spirit of the route. I mainly ride trail and scrambler bikes versatile machines that reflect my vision: freedom, balance and the ability to step away from obvious main roads when it makes sense.
The advice I give most often is simple: don’t try to accumulate kilometers just to tick off destinations. On a motorcycle, you feel a territory. A scent, a low slanting light, a perfectly flowing series of curves leave a stronger mark than a list of famous sites. These are the moments that stay with you.
Each journey is built through dialogue. I take the time to understand how you ride, your expectations, your experience, what you are truly looking for. And I give just as much importance to the exchanges after your return. The stories, shared memories and the details you remember are often the best indicator that the itinerary was right.
