Bicycling France’s Atlantic Coast: Favorite Photos

June 4, 2012 / Cycling La Velodyssee

I’ve been home a couple of days now, and I am having a great time sifting through all of my notes and photos from the trip. I took over 1,000 photos during my two week trip, three days of which I took very few photos due to the rain. I thought that I would share some of my favorites with you, and then I will follow up later this week with my overall impressions of the bike route.

Hope you enjoy!

Stay tuned for upcoming thoughts on the Atlantic Coast route, what I would do differently, and how the route compares to my favorite bicyling routes in France.

I love the adventure and unpredictability of experiencing France by bike. Cycling in France is the ultimate slow travel adventure, an opportunity to see it through the back door in a way few tourists experience. One week on a bike in France and life takes on a different meaning! I created Experience France By Bike to inspire recreational cyclists to visit France the slow way....by bike, and to be the best source of information for planning the perfect bicycling adventure. I encourage readers to embrace the uncertainty of the road ahead and to take the path less traveled, exploring roads, towns and villages that you would never experience traveling by car.
