I am off tomorrow on a week-long camping trip to the Black Forest and the Vosges with 3 others.
Day 1: To Verdun, mainly avoiding the autoroute.
Day 2, 3 and 4: To what looks like a fantastic campsite in Steinach, in the heart of the Black Forest (has a large outdoor heated pool, https://www.campingplatz-kinzigtal.de). This will be a base for rides in the area.
Day 5 and 6: Will be at a campsite in the Vosges (http://en.camping-routeverte.com), west of Colmar. Doing a long, twisty route to get there.
Day 7: We'll be travelling to Laon via the back-roads and exploring the twisties in the Champagne region.
Day 8: A brief tour of the Somme (Thiepval, Lochnagar Crater etc) before getting back to Calais.
I'm happy to give feedback on the campsites if anyone is interested and will welcome any recommendations for places to ride/visit in the area.
