Blacksheep - Bordeaux France


PRESENTATION

After scouring much of Europe and the world driving multiple vehicles that the concept Blacksheep, van hire proved to be obvious. Born from the passion for a holiday type Road-trip, it was after one of our many trips abroad which we took the concept of campervan hire (equipped van) from Australia.
 
The Blacksheep team van rental is made up of two professionals, longtime friends: Edward and Sylvain.
 
After studying together at Grenoble, our professional paths have crossed again a few years later when we were Head of Client Pro to the ski resorts of Les Arcs and La Plagne (Paradiski). Our professional meetings in the tourism sector and our many trips have made us aware that there was a request received no offer and a real passion for Road-trips type of holiday. So we said, “What could be easier than selling what we do best Our holiday !!?!”
 
Athletes and competitors in the soul, the Blacksheep team constantly challenges launched 8 years now: mountaineering, snowboarding raid Patagonia, rambles and mountain biking in the Alps, surf trips from Norway to Morocco .. .
 
All road-trips offered here have been created and tested by Blacksheep. Once in a Renault 5, today Blacksheep-van!
 
Based in Lyon, Blacksheep, “The road-trip company” is at the heart of France, providing quick access to the Mediterranean, the Atlantic Ocean, the Alps, the Ardèche and even Paris! Lyon also benefits from the Lyon Saint Exupéry International Airport, connected with the city center by tram-train in less than 30 minutes.
