The man who turns Europe's most beautiful roads into ready-to-ride adventures

Greg scouts, tests and films every kilometre, then converts it all into a "ready-to-travel" guide, so other riders just have to load up the bike and go.

Greg Lacaze is the founder of Les Apprentis Voyageurs, the French platform behind the "ready-to-travel" motorcycle road trip guide. The concept is simple and remarkably effective: Greg spends weeks on the road scouting the most beautiful routes of France and Europe, rides and films every itinerary himself, then reworks it into a complete turnkey guide with day-by-day GPX tracks, accommodation and restaurant picks for every budget. Ardèche, Corsica, the Pyrenees, Ireland, Sardinia, the Dolomites, southern Spain: his catalogue now covers more than twenty-five destinations.

His YouTube channel, Greg, Les Apprentis Voyageurs, has grown into one of the reference destinations of the French-speaking motorcycle travel community, with around 55,000 subscribers and more than 210 videos mixing road trip films, gear tests and practical travel advice. From the saddle of his Yamaha Ténéré 700 World Raid, Greg most recently completed a 4,000 km "Demi-Tour de France" in 12 days, putting Lone Rider MotoPanniers through their paces from Brittany to the Pyrenees. With a few gravel sections along the way and... one crash on tarmac...

Greg's work has been featured in Trail Adventure Magazine, Voyages à Moto and Globe Rider Magazine, and he is a familiar face at the biggest French ADV events, from the Salon du 2 Roues in Lyon to the Alpes Aventure Moto Festival in Barcelonnette, where he shares the stage and the stand with Lone Rider.
