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

First proper picnic

Today was market day in Bergerac and we bought stuff for our first
proper picnic - fresh goat curd and cabecou cheese, woodfired
sourdough bread, tomatoes, basil, olives and Bergerac red wine. This
was a light meal to follow the wonderful and large lunch today (see
below) which we ate in the Parc Jean Jaures.
