We have become specialists in the promotion of scooters as a mode of mobility. And this in the spirit of Le Grand Huit, ie for leisure, for daily mobility, to encourage alternatives to cars and for leisure: scooter ride, and fun guided ride

Guided tour of Lille with a scooter (non electric)

It's cool to visit the city as well. And that's for the least original. It makes you want to ride a scooter. Without getting tired. It's easy and accessible to everyone.

Share a fun, participative moment, animated by a nice guide who makes you discover the city and ... the scooter!

Opportunity to do it with family, with children, parents and grandparents, but also between friends or work colleagues.
Your guide to a scooter is waiting for you at 2 pm every Saturday in Lille in front of the Tourist Office, by reservation. Or on RV when you want for groups.
The ride lasts 1h45
The scooters are of course provided, with suspensions and brakes, even! They are not electric to be able to pass everywhere, with more security, and it is more physical and healthier for the planet.
The guide begins by explaining to the group the adventure you are going to live. It helps to take control of the scooter and to find the right poses
You discover the center, the Old Lille and its history, but also the modernity of Lille Europe. You make a dozen stops with comments and photos.
You have challenges to take up! Gymkhana, contest of elegance, improvisation, and various games with the scooter: beautiful laughter in perspective
Your guide takes a lot of pictures, in the Old Lille but also before the tulips of Lille Europe or the frescoes of Jean Patou! You can find them the same evening on the Facebook profile.

Do you know the best bike rental company, according to its customers, in the Lille region? It’s Le Grand Huit of course. At first glance, some people don't find our Dutch flower bikes very serious. But after a few meters they love it. And appreciate our operation by appointment and with the freedom to return the bike at any time. So read their Google and website reviews and book your turn for this spring 2024.

Lille was Olympic !  In Lille our guides have been happy to show you around the city by bike. Our specialty is being able to do it while having fun, but also in so many languages: English, Dutch (5 of our guides), German, Italian, Spanish. If you insist, we can even do it for you in Egyptian Arabic and Ch’ti (north of France dialect)!

Baby fun bikes. The fun bikes are always a great success, but they made some people jealous: the under eight years old who couldn't share the track with adults. At this end of 2023 we create a special event for them because they are also the most motivated in learning to cycle, especially when it is fun. Book this new activity for your event.
