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

Ventoux from Lacoste

The view from high in Lacoste is breathtaking. Down this alley one can
see Mt. Ventoux. Looking like a Fuji or kilimanjaro (except that the
snow is some light coloured rock) she calls me like a siren.
Iam hoping to cycle up this Saturday. For those who don't know, this
is a famous climb in Le Tour. It's about 20km of uphill gradually
getting steeper.
Noah says he will do it too but I haven't convinced Bri to try it yet.
