A Family Story

Paulette is, above all, a family adventure. It all began in January 2019, when Alain and Hélène Fauveau, father and daughter, decided to launch a bike rental company to make cycling adventures accessible to everyone.Paulette is, above all, a family adventure.

In April 2019, the first agency opened in Toulouse with a simple mission: to offer an easy, turnkey service allowing anyone to experience the freedom and simplicity of bike touring.

Since that day, Paulette has continued to grow, expanding into iconic regions of France and helping thousands of travelers each year—from curious first-timers to seasoned adventurers.

Our Manifesto

Traveling by bike is reinventing adventure.

To travel by bike is to choose to slow down.
To leave behind the rush of daily life, the screens, and the endless urgencies. On a bike, everything stops. Finally, we take the time—to listen to the wind in the trees, to wait for the rain to pass, or to let the mind wander. It’s reclaiming time, and living in the present.

To travel by bike is to embrace simplicity.
A picnic facing a field, the silence of a sunrise, or the thrill of a downhill after a long climb. It’s rediscovering joy in the little things—the ones that turn a simple day into an unforgettable memory.

To travel by bike is to welcome the unexpected.
Letting yourself be carried by the road—a surprise detour leading to a breathtaking view, a stranger who brightens your day, or a coffee in a sleepy village. Even the small mishaps often become the best memories.
