I, finally faced the big pink elephant in the room.... You must know, on my former travelings, to France, i just let my partner make the decisions, because it was my first time, i did not know anything about France. i followed him. Also, he liked to be the one in charge..... Talking/ knowing the language is also helping!  BUT, now i am going on my own, so i have to battle my own battles, so to say... Checked up on France, i knew, from before, going on a bike, was rather dangerous in France. The France are like madmen when put behind their stearing wheel... They did not have many bike routes, or they stopped and you had to drive on a semi highway! Freaking dangerous, especially at night... Nowadays, they seem to have changed their idea about biking in their country. They made bike ways, where train trails were, before also made some bike roads, next to the rivers, No other trafic! Safe, for bikers! So i am happy, i confronted the big pink elephant! It will be a nice adventure to go on my bike, through France. I have faith! I even checked out the most difficult part of my ride, in France...... I take an other route, that will take more time, but hey! I am in no hurry, at all! I dont want to take to the big mountains. I want to take it easy and slow... |

So, i am at peace, with that part of my traveling. I can do it!

You should feel better about it all. Good for you.

Good luck rosa, skip the gutter and don't take any wooden nickels..... I would try and talk you into going on a motorcycle.....in the summer. I never tried it on a bike....put lots of miles on a 56 VW and a couple of new motorcycles all over europe. The worst for traffic was Berlin back then. The wall was still up and all roads were a dead end. I had to LOL at "the french are like madmen when put behind their steering wheel" ANY european was that way.....I was around the germans the most but ALL of them were equally as bad....italians, spanish, scandinavians et al.

Apple Maps works quite well, even in the country side, if you are an Apple user.

Probably saying the obvious: have a mirror on your handlebar or helmet, so you can easily check what is coming up behind you
