Tours and Routes in France
Touring in France has been quite a revelation to me and my riding mates. We used to avoid it favouring Germany or UK but with the prices of hotels in UK having become almost prohibitive and the expensive ferry crossing, back in 2022 we took a punt on a last minute jaunt into Normandy.
Accommodation in France was always a concern, or at least a perception which was not positive; that combined with the long haul through Belgium to get anywhere in France put us off. However thanks to some friendly advice, I discovered the Logis website for hotels and learnt how to use it properly to meet my needs - you can find a lot more information on the Logis website by clicking the link below.
So in 2022 we decided to give France a try and the result was our Normandy trip. Since then we haven't looked back and each year since at least one foray into France has been the norm.
So why the change? Great roads, good food and accommodation at reasonable rates once you learn how to se the Logis website; weather can be hit and miss like anywhere in Europe; stunning countryside all over, our favourite being Eastern France from the Champagne area close to Verdun all the way down to l'Aubrac hills in the south. The Morvan area another gem.
For us France has become our favourite destination. As the tours pass I will publish them up here for others to enjoy. Any questions you might have on France feel free to drop me a line.
