What are we doing?

This has been in planning for a long time. Long service leave had to be taken, letters written to schools, bikes bought and upgraded, camping gear sorted, the vagaries of the SNCF elucidated and, of course, a whole lot of work work and housework completed.
If all goes well we will fly to Paris, train to Bordeaux then commence cycling (each on our own bike now that Noah is capable) east and south till we get to Provence 7 weeks later.
Along the way we will camp, stay in gites (one in the Dordogne and one in the Luberon), follow the market days and eat and drink very well. Hopefully the Euro crashes!
If the kids have any say, and they usually do, we will eat a pain au chocolat (chocolate croissant) each morning

Bordeaux

20 years ago Bordeaux was seedy. Now it still seems a bit seedy but
not dangerous. There is a large north African population and they seem
to run kebab shops and mobile phone deblocking and phone card shops.
Hopefully, we'll get Noah's bike tommorow and can head off on our tour.
