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

St Cirq LaPopie

Here on the Lot is a wonderful mediaeval town that is preserved very
tastefully. We spent a while wandering it's narrow and steep streets.
I wouldn't want to be here in peak tourist season. Right now however
it is quiet enough to sit on a terrace in a cafe and drink cider and
eat icecream in peace
