  • Join me on my trip 300 km through France!
    After spending 10 days in La Rochelle, I hopped on my bike, to cycle to Le Mont Saint Michelle.
    Watch me struggling with finding drinking water and loosing my beloved sunglasses just to be gifted with one of the most amazing sunrises I have ever seen. Just Wow!
    Cheerio, Goodbye, Salut and Adios!

    Normandy is a cyclist`s paradise. It is one of the reasons I moved there 5 years ago. Lovely hills, rivers and countryside. Very little traffic and cycling friendly drivers. Not too wet and windy, only hot in the summer months, rarely too cold. Some lovely architecture, ancient old buildings, beautiful villages seemingly lost in time. I glad that you like it, Giant Cheerio.

    In France, almost all cemeteries have free water and they are generally open during daytime, that is very useful.

    We stayed near Mont St. Michel in 2018 in a small AirBNB house just across the road from near where you camped. It was AMAZING to watch the sunsets and sunrises there. The monastery itself is incredible and the views from inside and the top are truly bucket-list worthy!

    In France you have to go in cemetery for water. I like what you do . Bravo.

    haha. Great advice that was given to me once when riding through France was that there's always water in cemetaries!

  • @maximes4428
    @maximes4428 9 месяцев назад

    About the water refill problem: in France you can go to any cemetaries and use the water tap (used to water the plants) for free refills. It's drinkable water and it's open 7/7d most of the time.

    Hello, just watch your videos they are super nice ! I want to go on my bike again now ! If you cycled this summer in France, there were no water in public places due to the multiple heat waves. They had to restrict to the minimum.

      1. Takes up weight
      2. Gets in the way sometimes
      3. Doesn't really look good
      4. Mountain bikers hate them cause if you hit a jump they can fly down and make you crash.

      Most times an ordinary kickstand doesn’t keep the bike upright/stable.

    You need to get yourself a lifestraw, I used it in Haiti when I lived there for a bit when I was in the mountains. Google it, works great!
