A wonderful way to end an excellent cycling tour. One can never go wrong with bubbles. 🥂
10 months agoThank you so much for that. It could well change this years trip. It really needs to be not too challenging. We intend starting in north Germany making our way to Moret to visit Louise then now with this new information will go to Briare via Nemours and Mortagis on to Decise then the Canal de Nivenae which will take us to the Canal de Bourgogne and onwards to finish in Lyon. All easy cycling which is important as I have a complete unrepairable rupture of my abductor tendons which means although I can ride fine my walking is severely limited
Do look forward to seeing where you go next
The sections of the canal path we did from Briare to Montargis are outstanding. The surface in the section south of Montargis on a whole was better than north of Montargis so I think you will love it.
I have read your blogs and look forward to following this years adventure.
Really interested to read of your cycling from Briare We are cycling in Europe alittle later in the year. I have a niece in Moret sur Loing and know there is an excellent cycle route from there to Montargis as we have done it before. What we are really wondering about is what it is like from there to Briare along the Briare Canal. From your description it sounds as if it should be fine
Really enjoying your trip through France as we contemplate and plan ours
Safe travelling
It sounds like a perfect day !

We have been having slight headwinds most days and I commented just yesterday that maybe we should have been riding in the opposite direction. Have fun with your son, I look forward to another blog to follow.

Nice to hear there are paths everywhere - my son is coming on his first cycling tour in a few months and we will be covering some of your route, though in the opposite direction. Happy cycling!

You certainly have had a wonderful trip Your time around Epernay has given me another idea Thinking now that will continue across Northern France to Reims and make our way down to Moret using a roughly similar route that you used coming from Fontanbleau and hence avoiding Paris
