It’s a warm-ish Easter Sunday and Mark has been out for hours doing a cycling-centric burst around our area. We’re in the lead-up to the Tour de France, so there are more regional rides zooming through small villages, too.
Today’s event was the 159 km La Ronde du Porhoët. The list of villages is included in this linked article. https://actu.fr/bretagne/saint-malo-des-trois-fontaines_56227/cyclisme-le-plus-haut-niveau-amateur-attendu-dans-cette-petite-commune-du-morbihan_62531957.html
Hope you enjoy today’s somewhat short video.

Would you enjoy a village life in France? Mainly for over-50s & over-60s, our lifestyle channel includes normal daily events, cycling and bikepacking with Mark, painting and artistic endeavours with both Deborah and Mark, visits to historic French villages-towns-landmarks, and our own adventures in finding and renovating an old house. An increasingly important focus is on living a frugal and sustainable lifestyle in retirement that still allows for fun and enjoyable activities. We’ll share our version of retirement and how we achieve a balanced lifestyle.
After moving permanently to France from Australia in 2016, American-born Deborah and British-born Mark now enjoy a low-stress and happy life in beautiful northern France.
We’re young-at-heart artists and artisans, designers, photographers. Deborah has a background in writing, editing, journalism, and psychology. Mark spent decades in the building trades, so we’re serial renovators of run-down houses in the USA, Australia, and now France.
We have lots of plans for the upcoming months and years, so why not join us!
