And one last thing. France is a beautiful wine country with a selection of some of the finest wines on the planet. Just try not to partake too hard into the wine tasting since alcohol will be quite detrimental to your sleep quality and recovery even in small doses. Learned that the hard way myself
Eh. To each their own. Some will sleep poorly and have a headache the next day after one glass of wine, some will be fine after a bottle. Nothing wrong with treating your bike tour like a vacation and doing some extra relaxing.
