Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bicycle near the Lot Rivière and through the Tarn Gorges as they wind their serpentine journeys through the spectacular and historic settings of southwestern France. This book guides cyclists through an area that for 25,000 years has evolved a civilization based on community and family. The route maps and directions in this guide are as accurate and detailed as I found feasible. I prepared with the best sources I could find, then in 2010 I cycled the routes (occasionally walked a segment), took photos, made notes, discussed the routes with knowledgeable people and made corrections. A key objective is to avoid injury to a cyclist. Next, should your route include an unintended deviation, the map should have sufficient information to allow your return to the route.Then during the 2020 pandemic, I redrafted each route and charted the elevation profiles with more detail that became available in the intervening ten years. The object of this redrafting was to make the route easier to understand and to remove perceived ambiguities. All photos were re-edited from the original JPG files.Each route has some research notes (for a total of 53 in the guide) about the surroundings; some of these notes are historical, some geographical and some few about the nonhuman creatures you may sight along the way. Very little of this research replicates information in other guides.This guide spends little space on specific places to shelter for a night or a week. A bit more space is allowed for eating.As in my previous guides, I attempt to inform you about traveling to the area and what to expect when you arrive. Hopefully, this helps in your planning and reduces the stresses of travel to a different environment.Finally, well not quite, I try to have you understand the habits and customs in more depth. Should you have the opportunity to talk with a village senior you might learn that he or she was born in the same house that has been in the family for multiple generations. Does she know why she walks her children or grandchildren to school every morning and meets them in the afternoon? Did the grandfather speak Occitan? Who did they lose during World War II? Does the local bus service work as well as the long-defunct tram?In the guidebook's 127 pages, in addition to planning and introductory sections, eighteen routes are mapped in detailed color with elevation profiles and exacting turn-by-turn directions. There are 207 color photographs for visualizing surroundings.

Book excerpt: DORDOGNE VALLEYS AND VILLAGES expands your understanding of a gracious culture and the delight of bicycling in this exceptional region.

A cyclist appreciates these traits better than most who examine the world. On a bicycle you pedal up and coast down hills, on less traveled roads and through villages. You will engage small slopes, big hills, narrow roads, winding lanes, hamlets and bustling market towns. Also available is a companion guide, DORDOGNE VALLEYS AND VILLAGES QUEUE SHEETS.

This book was released on 2012-08-16 with total page 105 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Geographically, this guidebook focuses on the Roman Provence Region of France of the northern Gard and western Vaucluse Departments, the Drôme Department north and east into the Rhône Alpes, and the southern Ardèche Department. The routes start from three locations: Crest in the Drôme, Vallon-Pont-d’Arc in the Ardèche and Pont du Gard west of Avignon. The Gorges de la Baume & Cirque de Combe Laval route is the outlier due to the staggering beauty of the area. Why this area of France? Not for the industrial Rhône Valley. But, if you wander 20 to 30 kilometers east or west of the Rhône Valley you will find the medieval hilltop villages, deep gorges with rushing rivers, Roman structures and very hospitable people that want to help. Fifteen routes are mapped in detailed color with elevation profiles and exacting, step-by-step directions (data gathered to the nearest 0.2 kilometer). There are 149 color photographs for these surroundings.
