My first bike trip into France. Having read all threads I've decided if my mate can't take the time off, then I'm going on my own for a couple of weeks at the end of June/early July.
I think a maximum of 300 miles on the first day so I feel like I've got somewhere and thereafter a more leisurely pace will do, the only place I need to get to is near St Tropez to see an old friend. I would also like to spend a few days (or maybe more) exploring the Dordogne about which I've heard so much - as well as the various Gorges.
I've got a route back from Menton, courtesy of this forum, that follows the Route Napoleon, so now I just need advice on a scenic route south (garmins files gladly accepted) and nice places to stay where I won't look like some lonely middle aged bloke with no friends
Thanks in advance
