I take a flimsy waist lock thing usually. It’ll last 5secs if someone wanted to steal the bike but would hopefully stop anyone just walking off with it if I’ve popped into a shop where it’s out of sight.
I also always lock it up if it’s in a different carriage to me on the train and to one of my tent poles at night if wild camping. It doesn’t weigh much more on my already heavy touring setup so don’t really care.
I’d like to think through France you wouldn’t need it but I’m a better safe than sorry kinda guy.
Also, if your route is taking you through the Morvan forest then Dm me, my parents live in Missery and are cool with people camping in their garden/providing hot meals and water etc.
