At Alliance Française RenoTahoe, our members don’t just speak French, OUI! they live the French spirit of discovery, effort, and joie de vivre!
This month, we celebrate two inspiring AF families whose passion for cycling carried them across continents - one through the incredible scenic trails of Reno, the other along a 1,500-km journey from southern France to Spain.
Part 1 – 1,500 km Through France and Spain
Starting in October, The Alliance Française de RenoTahoe's VP in charge of Events, Christophe, took off on an epic 1,500-kilometer bike journey starting in the south of France and crossing into Spain.
Riding through historic villages, vineyards, and the Pyrenees foothills, he's experiencing the landscapes that inspired centuries of French writers and artists, and meeting amazing people. He will share lots of stories with us when he returns mid November!
“You discover places you’d never see otherwise. The rhythm of the road slows time, it’s pure freedom,” he shared.
His adventure is a reminder that exploring the world, whether near or far, connects us all through shared experiences and courage.
You can check some of his links here as Christophe is still pedaling along!
Part 2 – A Family Ride in Reno
Board Member and Treasurer, Misha and his 15-year-old son, recently completed an exceptional 22-mile ride through Reno’s winding hills and breathtaking desert-to-mountain scenery. Check-out the size of the city of Reno in the background!
Their shared adventure embodies the values we cherish: family connection, healthy living, and a touch of French endurance!
“It was tough, but worth every mile,” said Sage, smiling proudly beside his father, proof that the next generation of Reno-Tahoe Francophiles already understands le goût de l’effort et de la liberté.

Conclusion – The Road Ahead
From Reno’s mountainous trails to the Mediterranean coast, these stories remind us that the French spirit is not bound by borders!
Félicitations to both our AF Reno-Tahoe members for inspiring us with their determination and sense of adventure!
Have a story to share?
We’d love to feature more of our members’ achievements, whether a hike, recipe, or voyage that connects you to la culture française.
