Francia in bicicletta

Year: 2011 Format: 12x16 Pages: 128 Photos: no Between "voies vertes", asphalted roads closed to motorized traffic, and actual "pistes cyclabes", the French are equipping their country with notable infrastructures for those who cycle. An example above all is “La Loire à vélo”, the 800 kilometer long Loire cycle path. Starting from Paris, the guide, as in an ideal "grande randonnée", travels through France from south to north, discovering the cycle itineraries along the Canal du Midi, the tour of Burgundy and the narrow streets of Provence, and even the Via Turonensis of pilgrimage from Santiago to the Alsatian section of the Rhine cycle route, where France and Germany observe each other from opposite banks of the great river.

How to prepare for the trip, useful addresses, books in your backpack, descriptions of all the French regions, unmissable cycle paths, how to reach France and travel around it by bike, sleeping, eating and drinking, minimum survival glossary.
