Like the sound of that Grant if I can make it tie in with other commitments.

Trip Invite Northern Spain back through France
- Thread starter grantmac
- Start date
looks like this may be a ''Go''!! 
Looks like it could be a happy threesome!
referecne the above 2 posts 17 & 19..... Could i ask politely if someone could help me out then with some ideas.
Day 6 ends in a small town called Lacaune in ther Parc du Haut Languedoc. Happy to then hoof it east to the hotel recommended by in Arseys report - Le Marronier in Rencurel but dont want to do more that 330 km from start point....... Then I need to get about 340km north before heading west to Verdun.
I can add on 1 day to the overall tour but would apporeciate some tips especially as would like to avoid the spagetti junctions arouind Lyon and of course the motorway unless absolutely necessary

I can dig out the MyRoute route I’ve done twice or more from Millau up to / past Rencurel then to Quarre les Tombs, then to Verdun or to St Menehould.
There is nothing wrong with taking the motorway to avoid Lyon. The area becomes congested as much due to geography as anything else, as the mighty Rhone river valley gets in the way. You can take the Michelin map’s holiday Bis route, but this runs (near enough) parallel to the motorway and doesn’t have a whole heap to commend it. How do I know? I have driven / ridden past Lyon umpteen times, heading to / from Provence from Calais.

Watch this guy...I hear he's a bit dodgyAs discussed by PM if my massive flex trip works I hope to bump into you at some stage
I know...I've been to Kansas CityA bit..............
He minces around like a Kansas City Faggot
Tried to get a couple of rooms at the Station in Spain Gran Franc or whatever its called….but the rates were coming in at € 350 per night which is a tad on the high side.
Superb Vid
https://www.granhoteljaca.com/es/ is a more modest rate in the centre of Jaca
for something a bit posher and in a rural location on top of a hill, try the Parador Sos del Rey Catolico

Reserva en un hotel para amantes de la naturaleza y el senderismo y disfruta de un entorno y de la gastronomía local de Sos del Rey Católico
Day eight is perhaps corrupted. MyRoute returns a warning that the route doesn’t exist anymore.
Day Eight is showing up fine for me.
This is the message I’m seeing, when tapping on the embedded route eight:
The other embedded routes all open perfectly.
Do you owe MRA any money?
I did delete 2 of the routes and re-do them.
Here they are again
