A wonderful trip overall. The accommodation was very good, especially in Lansac with Chistine. With hindsight, even though we are a bike fit couple in our 70s, we would choose the e-bike option for our next trip. More time for leisure en route! The map apps was good but had a couple of false starts while we got used to it. We highly recommend this trip.
