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

Canal country

We stayed for a few nights at a camp in Mirepeisset in the Languedoc
and right near the junction of the canal du midi ( which goes from
Toulouse to Sete) and the canal du robinon which connects to Narbonne.
It is really beatiful here. We have escaped the bad weather and have
enjoyed cycling around, swimming in the unfortunately named river
Cesse and eating yummy picnics at spots like this by the canal.
