Off for a couple of weeks in the Summer through a bit of Belgium which I tried last year when it was raining down through the Jura to Bardonnecchia around Briancon through Verdon to the Dordogne via some of the Balcony roads and places recommended here and then back.

I'll be staying a few days in Bardonecchia (Strada dell’Assietta / Colle delle Finestre, lower part of Colle del Sommeiller) Le Puy and Perigeux.

On day 6 if you come to Le Puy more via Privas there are some fantastic roads through the Ardèche, let me know if you want some pointers, it’s my stomping ground

All suggestions gratefully received. I'll have a day in Le Puy so can explore the Ardeche.

first ever Gite holiday with young children was in Vogue - lovely area.

Notwithstanding how the route has been put together, it’s going to take you through some stunning locations. Have a great trip!

Indeed so.

I have moved the posts relating to inserting additional waypoints / MyRoute’s expand function into the GPS section.

This’ll keep the thread’s subject matter on track.

My only comment is not so much about your routes (it’s your choice where and how you go) but about the way the routes are created.

Take route 2 for example:

A. MyRoute’s recommended best practice is to place a ‘waypoint’ (the inverted teardrop) every five kilometres / three miles. Yours are much more widely spaced.

Hi Wapping, I’m doing a similar trip in may, down to Dijon Prenois for the coupe moto legends, the on south towards Nice, amble about there a couple of days then on to my pal in the Dordogne, just south of the river, a little place called St Pom Pont, handy for all the river sights. Then back north via Le Mans and the tunnel. Happy days

Yes, tricky if you have a big bike. You don't have to ride to the very top. You can walk the last bit.

I’m really interested in those above plus Jafferau tunnel (Galleria dei Saraceni ?)
Unsure if my GSA unsuitable and tempted to a Desert X
A bike on the roof of Forte Jafferau would make my day
