ÉCHAPPÉE PARIS Each neighbourhood has its own energy, you can find what you like by riding from one street to another, from one neighbourhood to another. For me a good day on the bike starts with a bike ride with my friends. Go to a coffee shop for a good coffee, accompanied by a homemade pastry. After the ride, we go to the market to buy a roasted chicken and some vegetables, a bottle of wine and some beers. We then have lunch at home. Chilling with some music talking about bike parts. One Sunday a month the city is closed to cars. Choose this day to enjoy the City of Lights by bike. Then discover its full potential. Riding next to the Eiffel Tower, crossing bridges made centuries ago, the city itself is a museum. Rue Gasnier-Guy is the steepest street in the capital with its 17% slope. For more fun it is paved. Great to perfect your climb skills. For vintage bikes, the specialists are the Savarino brothers at La Bicyclette. Alesia Cycles in the south of the city offers custom build in its workshop. You look up and you see a piece of history. Essential, thrilling narrow The atmosphere of this city is magical. You need fenders and patience We forget this bicycle path was a fast lane for cars The quays of the Seine allow you to cross the whole city without passing a single car. You pass in the heart of Paris, next to the most beautiful monuments. The 11th is the liveliest neighborhood. The best bars and coffeeshops are located there. Eating falafel sandwich on rue des rosiers or Surpriz on rue Oberkampf, a Kebab like in Berlin. Paris is really the city of good food. London Échappée Old world aesthetics meet modern metropolis. Pre-dawn hill efforts to watch the sunrise over the city from Alexandra Palace. ViEW MORE Tokyo Échappée Cycling is a part of everyone’s lives in Tokyo.

R. x Centifolia PETAL TO THE METAL Inspired by the scents of summer in the south, a new collection of jerseys, bib shorts and gilets for men and women that found their form nestled in the hills away from the sea.

Absolute Rose Café du Cycliste and Grasse have history. Before the first stitch was sown on the first jersey ever made, the coffee shop that was the original Café du Cycliste was situated just outside the main town, in a suburb called Châteaunuef-de-Grasse. It was whilst turning pedals on the roads surrounding the famous perfume town that our co-founders bounced their ideas, and the good ones became the seeds of something bigger. Grasse is, of course, better known as the perfume capital of the world. An industry whose scents come from the flowers grown in the surrounding landscape. One of the most famous for its scent is the rose. And at the top of the rose tree is the centifolia variety. It’s also known as the Provence Rose, no prizes for guessing why. Hermès, Chanel, and Dior, all source their roses here. To this day in Grasse, the start of the process that ends in those bottles of concentrated fragrance is one of hand-picking in the fields at the end of April and beginning of May. It’s a métier, a tradition and a testament of what the terroir gives as gifts. The same terroir that we cycle across on a weekly basis. Grasse is situated away from the coast so the flowers are protected from the sea breeze. Like so many of its neighbours the town is perched on what we call a ‘colline’, a small hill. Behind are the higher mountains of the Park National Préalpes d’Azur. Around the town, riders will find many rollers, some longer hills but no hors category climbing. The famous Route Naploeon runs through here and heads north towards Castellane and the Gorges du Verdon. Going north is the best way to get into the more open spaces, after passing through the many elaborate villas that were built following the birth of the perfume industry. Celebrate the queen of flowers itself and acknowledge this gift from the terroir that is the base of French life and, more particularly for us, French cycling.
