A Cycle Tour of Southern France

Provence, Languedoc and the Gorges du Tarn

Mike Bedard


Above Ste Enimie on the Gorges du Tarn

This is a log of a cycle tour in France that I took with my wife Carol and two friends, Peter and Heather Stark, in the summer of 1992. Although we landed in and departed from Lyon, the entire trip took place in the south, east of Toulouse. As with all our tours, although we carry everything with us on our bikes, we don't camp. (Been there! Done that!) Instead we stay in hotels (or the occasional B&B) and we usually eat in restaurants.

The attached map outlines our route. If you want to see the full sized photos, click on the "thumbnail" photos.
