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

Campsite sauvage #2

It's great to be on the road again. The minor roads are simply
incredible. Smooth, paved and no cars. Tonight we found a freshly
slashed field surrounded by oaks and chestnuts for camping. Bliss. It
truly is picture postcard stuff. The next morning we cycled the 10km
onto Beaumont for the market. We had numerous pastries, paella and
rabbit stew for breakfast.
Onto Saint Cyprien and our gite tonight

    Can you post some pictures of Beaumont, so I have an idea of my heritage? Sue B
