Balladins Express Hotel Castelculier Agen

... My legs seem to have finally got with the program and are not causing me difficulty any more. <br><br>Past a couple of cycle shops and Brian was able to get a new set of pedals - one off the list. Also passed a Decathlon. They had a front fork system, but Brian decided against replacing his right now. So he&#8217;ll just keep on truckin&#8217; and trustin&#8217;. <br><br>Later we rolled into the ...

... have created a warm and inviting space &#8211; both inside and outside the farmhouse. It&#8217;s located off a tiny road in the French countryside; just off a classic Napoleonic French road lined with majestic oak elms (Napoleon used the old Roman idea of adding these trees to roads to shade his troops during long marches). And as beautiful as the surroundings are, Ike and Jim steal the spotlight with their accommodating and helpful natures, fun conversation and killer ...

... outside the city walls. Finding parking there was a challenge- one night we were in the train station garage and the next we figured out the private garage connected to the hotel (the BETTER way to go!).<br> We traveled all over Provence ...

... cars and lorrys. Although we stopped for many water breaks we finally made it to Agen where we drank a beer on a park bench, like a homeless, which we were.<br><br>Just outside of the city we set up camp off a foot pass next to a huge river. We cooked our food on the rocks next to the river and as the sun set we listened to some wierd animal sounds which for some reason we assumed to be aligators.

7 days in the small village of Miradoux in Gascony ... living in a surprisingly large 4 bedroom house overlooking a patchwork valley and touring through beautiful ...

It was a long day on the bus, but we finally made it to Provence. On the way we stopped in Avignon to see the Pope's Palace and then made our way to the Roman Aqueduct. After dinner in Provence, we stumbled upon a crazy street party with a DJ. It was fun experience to dance with the locals and get a feel for the flavor of the town. We are off to Barcelona tomorrow!

Through Biarritz and Bayonne, then long cross-country slog which eventually become pretty after Casteljaloux.<br><br>Funny little campsite miles from anywhere with odd but nice owner (looked like Roy Hudd in long shorts). We were the only campers ...

... we might like stay in his gite the next time we visited France. He was a most friendly fellow and gave us useful advice as to how to go about getting a Statutory Declaration for the credit union. Like everybody else we had encountered he had no idea what a stat dec was but was still able to recommend a notary near our village. I am sure we saw everything there was to see in Sarlat, including amongst other things the Lantern of Death (a weird cone-shaped ...

... was a steal for 1,900,000 FF (£177,000) but it was all but gutted inside and from the outside it looked like it a relic from the French Revolution. The oth** partly restored chateau went for 7 million FF (£619,500). Th**e are so many farmhouses and small stone houses around Condom waiting for an idealistic family to restore them to their quaint, form** beauty. The prices w**e neglible, the tourists few and the people arguably the friendliest in France. But then ...
