Day-by-day itinerary

Day 1

New Orleans

Welcome to New Orleans! You’ve arrived in the birthplace of jazz and the heart of Voodoo culture. Spend your first day exploring the historic French Quarter and discovering the city's colonial heritage. Stroll along the Mississippi River waterfront, or take time to wander through St. Louis Cemetery or the beautiful City Park. Overnight stay at a downtown hotel.
Day 2

New Orleans - Vicksburg

Your motorcycle road trip through the American South begins today! This first riding day is ideal for getting comfortable with your motorcycle, as most of the route follows easy highways. Leaving New Orleans, you'll ride along Interstate 10 to Baton Rouge, the capital of Louisiana. From there, you join Highway 61 toward Natchez, the oldest city in Mississippi, named after a Native American tribe. From this charming town, you'll follow the historic Natchez Trace Parkway, a scenic route used since the late 18th century that winds through forests all the way to Nashville. You'll ride this legendary road as far as Vicksburg, where you'll spend the night.
330 km
Day 3

Vicksburg - Memphis

Before leaving Vicksburg, take some time to visit Vicksburg National Military Park, a national park preserving key Civil War battle sites. Back on your motorcycle, Highway 61 takes you north toward Memphis, roughly following the winding course of the Mississippi River. Along the way, a stop at the Delta Blues Museum offers the chance to discover the history of the blues, the musical genre born in the Deep South during the mid-19th century. After this musical break, continue your ride to Memphis, where you'll spend the night. To experience the city's vibrant nightlife, don't miss the famous Beale Street, home to countless live music clubs.

Day 4

Memphis - Nashville

Memphis is sure to delight barbecue lovers and music enthusiasts alike. It is the city where the blues flourished, soul music evolved, and rock ’n’ roll was born. Among its must-see attractions are Graceland, Elvis Presley's final home, and the National Civil Rights Museum, located at the site where Martin Luther King Jr. was assassinated. After exploring the birthplace of the blues, your journey through the Deep South continues toward Nashville. Riding your motorcycle, you'll first head to Shiloh National Military Park, a protected historic site marking the location of the 1862 Battle of Shiloh during the American Civil War. Take time to ride through the park and past the cemetery with its thousands of graves before continuing to Nashville, where you'll spend the night.
380 km
Day 5

Nashville - Birmingham

In Nashville, the capital of Tennessee, country music reigns supreme! The Walk of Fame, honoring the artists who shaped the city's rich musical heritage, the Country Music Hall of Fame, and legendary venues such as the Grand Ole Opry all celebrate this unique legacy. Leaving the city behind, your motorcycle road trip continues south to the Jack Daniel's Distillery in Lynchburg, a charming village where time seems to stand still among its historic buildings. You then cross into Alabama, passing through Huntsville, home to the U.S. Space & Rocket Center, before arriving in Birmingham, where you'll spend the night at your hotel.
310 km
Day 6

Birmingham - Mobile

Your motorcycle journey continues south to Montgomery, the capital of Alabama. Although the city is not widely known today, it played a major role in American history: it was where the Civil War began in 1861 and where the Civil Rights Movement against segregation emerged during the 1950s. Back on your motorcycle, you continue even farther south to Mobile, a port city located on the river of the same name. A true cultural crossroads, Mobile was successively a French, British, and Spanish colony. It is also home to the oldest Mardi Gras celebration in the United States, with traditions dating back to the 18th century. You'll spend the night in its historic downtown, surrounded by beautifully preserved landmarks.
