Zitat von baxb im Beitrag #1 I can probably help with some ideas. In the Pyrenees and up through France. We did a loop from St Malo and back up to Le Havre in September. We called into La Rochelle, Cabrerets near Cahors, Meyrueis near Tarn Gorge, Le Mont Dore in the Volcanes region and finally Saumur in the Loire.

Zitat von baxb im Beitrag #3 Pamplona and Jaca are nice. If I recall, your ferry arrives early morning so you should be able to make Jaca via some nice mountain roads. Head to Vega de Pas then pick a route towards Pamplona then Jaca. Gran Hotel de Jaca is good. Yes, N260 is a good road. Take the N260a loop up over Biescas. You can get to Sort, Hotel des Brases. Carry on the N260 to Puigcerda and then cross into France, along the Aude Gorge to Quillan and Carcassonne. Worth a day off the bike here but you are on a tight timetable. I used the Ibis Styles but plenty of other choices. Your route through France will depend on your appetite for long days in the saddle to ride mostly D roads or maybe do a bit of motorway to allow some sightseeing at specific points.

Carcassonne to Ouistreham is about 600 miles, so maybe head for Le Mont Dore on day 1, 230 miles on D roads through some great terrain.

Zitat von Marco im Beitrag #7 I've booked a ferry to Spain for Sept/Oct next year from Plymouth. Bit early to start planning but some more time in the Pyrenees I think, as so many places yet to visit. Also have a trip in the pipeline for the early May Bank Holiday to Sedan in the French Ardennes with a group over the weekend and then a few extra days somewhere. Again, not really got any fixed plans yet. Germany, Lux and Belgium are likely to figure.

Zitat von baxb im Beitrag #10Zitat von wessie im Beitrag #8Zitat von Marco im Beitrag #7 yes, we stay in the Ardennes or Mosel often, on the way to/from other places but also as a destination itself for a shorter trip. Stayed in Bouillon a few times. We like Dinant best.

Zitat von baxb im Beitrag #9 The very best place near Caen is https://reservation-hotel.logishotels.co...ooking/12/2148/ - a Logis Hotel in an old court house dating back to the 16th century. Superb restaurant with set menus from 20 euros. Half an hour to the port. Nice sports bar across the road for pre dinner beer. If you want closer, there is an Ibis Styles near the port entrance and a little further out of town, a budget B&B Hotel. Not stayed at the B&B since it opened not long ago, but a reliable chain. Both have gates on the car parks. B&B https://maps.app.goo.gl/jqhKaGvWwzBN5Tpo6 Ibis: https://maps.app.goo.gl/9GYwUZ56PC8DZjWd9
