In talking with a new acquaintance, they often tell me that they would like to travel to a region in France. But, outside of Paris are there interesting regions? The answer is “of course.” Where? This book is a start to an answer.
Many of you know I do enjoy cycling in France. When I am checking out a route, I stop often to huff and puff if climbing, to check out a direction change for a route map, and always to take a picture.
Over the years you and many other friends and acquaintances have asked me for something with just the photos of my travels in France, and a little about where I have been. This book is a start to address those questions.
The following images date from 2004. From that trip through my 2014 adventure, I have taken more than 6,000 photos in France. For my 8 guidebooks, I included more than 1,700 of these photos in the text and maps.
For this compilation, I selected 168 photos that got my attention. Some of these images needed an explanation.
