Back again in France. A cycling tour from Honfleur, through Normandy and Brittany, at the Loire to Orléans via Paris back to Honfleur.
For the first time I am travelling by car and bike. There is no pleasant train connection from Hamburg to France. All roads lead to Paris. And by plane the cost of the bike are almost more expensive than the ticket itself. In addition, the flexibility increases when there is no fixed end date.
