Hi all,
Me and a mate are looking at planning a cycle trip through France in spring next year and wondered if anyone had any recommendations? We're looking at getting a ferry from the UK direct to France to then do a round trip. Where's best to get the ferry into? We looked at doing a round trip and getting the same ferry back or possibly arriving in one place and getting the ferry back from elsewhere. I had looked at Calais to Dieppe, but saw someone suggest it's about as exciting as cycling from Slough to Peterborough!
We want a fairly leisurely trip, something scenic and rural with places to swim along the way (coastal, lakes, rivers etc), we'd be camping mostly so good options for that too ideally! Likely doing about 5 days of cycling using the weekends either side of a week to travel back.
What are your experiences and suggestions, I'd love to be able to discuss with people that have done it!
