Maison Sarah Lavoine's Sarah Poniatowski and the founders of Cycles Cavale have created a bike that combines quality, simplicity, and style in the image of their commitment to excellence: French made, precision, a careful selection of parts and an eco-friendly commitment.

"From our shared vision of French manufacturing, the demand for quality and the beauty of each piece while respecting the environment, we have imagined," says Martin Bouche of Cycles Cavale.

The bike draws its inspiration from the art de vivre culture of Maison Sarah Lavoine. Notably from its distinctive expression of colors: a Sarah Bleu frame, white handlebars and a black battery that come together for the creation of a chic and limited-edition bike. With shared values, it was only natural for the two companies to combine their know-how and expertise for this project.
