The west coast is pretty good for riding but can be really hot and windy in summer. If anyone is doing long distances in rural France, this website is pretty good:

Basically helps you find taps, water pumps, fountains with drinking water etc. That said, banging on doors and asking for a refill seems to work fine.

Generally seemed to be a prevailing tail wind if you’re heading south though, well I’ve had that twice, @laner allegedly has head wind all the way.

My folks live out that way so I ride there a couple of weeks a year. There’s no specific pattern but the flatness when combined with a block headwind is a real ball ache. When it’s a tailwind though it’s amazing riding.
