As we were leaving the Chambly Fort yesterday some bikes caught our eyes…
I asked if I could take pictures and then we started to talk to the family…
Last month in June this beautiful family of six arrived from Normandy and started on a 10 month journey that started in Quebec city and will end in South America. Each bike holds 3 people and all of them can peddle except for the youngest.
The largest bike in front holds Noé who is four, Arnaud (Dad), and Nathanaël, 11.
The other bike has Gabriel (9), Mom (Estelle) and 2 year old Eva…
They try to bike at least 30km a day and they never know where they will be sleeping that night. I wish we would have lived closer, or at least in the direction that they were headed so that we could have had them over and been able to talk more…
What a beautiful Family and amazing journey they are taking…
Though their site is French, please check them out at 6TZEN.org
There is a link to their blog (in the section “SUIVEZ NOS GUIDONS”) and Maybe if you keep a tab on their journey and they pass near you you might be able to send them a message and offer them a place to stay for the night

Thanks for sharing this! I spoke with Arnaud and we will picnic with them at parc Jeanne Mance tomorrow 11am. They’ve linked your blog to their website

Arnaud and his family arrived last Friday at our home in Ahuntsic, Montreal, and spent two nights with some times for barbecue, parc exploration, water games and Saturday’s fireworks at La Ronde. Great fun overall ! Go and provide them with moral support on their website for their journey. Plus, they need to perfect their english since they next cross the border and go to the States.
