As I won't be doing a US trip this year I thought it was about time I re discovered the joys of Europe and in particularly France.
Planning a few long weekends in Ireland and Belgium but I'm looking to do a 8/9 day trips around France in the summer on the RT. Can't do more as my G/F can't get too much time off so will be leaving on a Saturday and coming back the following Sunday.
Ideally I'd like to go out through Calais and come back from Cherbourg as that run home round the M25 is horrendous.
We'd like to go down to the Alps skirting Switzerland, do the Route de Napoleon, cut across the south and back up the west side of France.
It's been a good few years since I've ridden down through France so any ideas on a route with lots of must sees? Longish days aren't an issue but riding good roads and stopping in interesting places are a priority.
