My Tour de France

By Janette | Travel

Author – Autumn (Janette)

Each year Mr. Autumn and I try to take two or three major bicycle tours somewhere in the world.  So far this year, we bicycled from Vientiane, Laos to Hanoi, Vietnam and 10 days in the Netherlands.

Today we will return to Europe to cycle from the English Channel in Normandy across France to the Mediterranean Sea in Provence. We are more than excited about this trip and have been training in preparation for crossing the Alps.

I am looking forward to seeing lots of interesting sights like……..

    Have a wonderful time! Loved looking at your photos and reliving some of the beautiful scenes we shared together on the bike-barge trip in France. Thank you for introducing me to such fun. Was I ever lucky to meet you and Mr. Autumn on the ride across america four years ago.

    I know you will have much to see, but eat some morels, try a grilled brie sandwich and have some Calvados for me. Autumn is a wonderful time to be in France.
