Re: France - channel to the Med (or vice-versa)
I have done twice North to South and three times South to North by different routes. Can't really help you with a preference because I enjoyed every ride. Must agree though the west coast is the least interesting and Aquitaine is very boring. If you do go through there avoid the cycle paths as they are teaming with very slow leisure riders
There is your way. There is my way. But there is no "the way".

Dropped the car in Caen and cycled the last 15k to the ferry port, and luckily caught the next boat.
I really like the idea of this. Can you give an idea of the approx cost?
Already thinking its got to be a lot less hassle than trying to get two fully loaded touring bikes on a train.
