From three different trips in France...
Country lane in SW France (Charente Maritime), previosly posted at
http://www.bikeforums.net/touring/91...ture-tour.html...
And here's not a very exciting photo, but it is one of few with a bike in the pic as requested by Siu. SE France (Drome). That's a fresh baguette strapped to my pannier. Hmmm, should I take the high road or the low road to Saint Nazaire?...
On a subsequent trip I met up with friends on a hotel tour in the Pyrenees. On a day trip loop out of Quillan (Aude) I think we turned right at this junction (I love those directional road signs in France!)...
and then we continued up through Gorges de Galamus (Pyrenees Orientales)...
That's me in the yellow jersey. The previous week we had climbed the Col du Tourmalet to watch the Tour de France. Yes, my yellow jersey was the source of cheers from the many spectators lining the road. "Allez, Allez! Le maillot jaune!" Then Miguel rode up the pass from the opposite direction and stole the glory!
Through the Gorge...Keep to the outside lane with your head low!...
Apologies for the poor resolution. Old scanned 35mm slides.
