CAC stands for Cyclo-Accueil-Cyclo – cyclists welcoming cyclists – but it’s much easier to say “CAC”. And the name explains all: it’s a network of cyclists happy to put you up on your tour and share the adventure of your ride. In return, you offer to help other riders.
The list now extends all over the world, so we now have 3 CACs:
- CAC France: around 750 French touring cyclists around the country ready to welcome you .
- CAC International: 50 riders in 36 countries, like Brazil, South Africa and Japan.
- CAC Partners: associations, like the CCI, which share their directories with us. At the moment, we exchange lists with ADFC in Germany, Fietsersbond in Holland, Velodach in Switzerland and Österreich-Dachgeber in Austria. These lists are available in the CAC directory.
Also on the internet :
- Warm Showers : www.warmshowers.org
The CAC directory is available to you if in return you offer a bed and a shower to others. But you can also use it if you’re on tour for a year or more (you can't be at home and on the road at the same time).
It’s easy to be a CAC member. Just complete the form and send it to us. We’ll then add you to the list. Every so often we’ll drop you a line to check you’re still at the same address.
All we ask is common courtesy. Always write or caIl welI in advance and then confirm by phoning a day or two before your arrivaI. Likewise, notify your hosts if you change your plans. Don’t drop in unannounced. Don’t expect anything until you have confirmation. That includes meals. Don’t arrive by car.
Help us keep the directory up to date and to expand it.
If your address has changed or if you want to join the list, please complete this form and send it to me at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.
