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

Cidre
Bergerac is not in apple country but we took the opportunity to stop at a Breton pub to have one. Why can't we make cidre this good on the apple isle?
Wow , the cider looks as dark as a guiness ! I'm salivating at the thought and helped myself to a Coopers Sparkling as the next best thing. Cheers, Owen
