In summary, we have crossed the Pyrenees into France, just opposite Barcelona, then headed back towards the Mediterranean coast in the foothills of the French Pyrenees. Lots of ups and downs, but the scenery has been fantastic, the villages beautiful but very quiet compared to Spain, but the French people themselves have been a lot of fun. Vals French is improving by the day!
We arrived in Toulouse on Sunday, it was drizzling rain but the track along the Midi Canal side led us to the centre of the city, where we decided to pamper ourselves with a couple of days in a two star hotel. After finding a couple that were either full up, or just not interested in catering for bikes, we found one that just loved bikes and put up with wet tents in the bath and hanging out the window above the Boulevard. Doing some sight seeing and hoping the weather will improve.
Change of plan has us keeping on the Garonne Canal towards Bordeaux, may even slope across to the Atlantic coast, but we are nothing if not flexible on this trip, so that could change at any time.
