I have planned a 6 day cycle from Calais to Gstaad for late August. If you know the area/roads could you let me know if you think there are any problems with the route I have chosen (or if there's any great lunch stops en-route!). I know local knowledge is always invaluable! My bike is a road bike so apart from the odd short trail it needs to be onroad. I have already booked the accommodation so I can't change the end of day stops but I could amend the route slightly to avoid a nasty road etc;
Full route is viewable at: https://ridewithgps.com/routes/47716558 Summary is:
Day 1 – Calais to Peronne
- Lumbres
- Saint-Pol-Sur-Ternoise
- Miraumont
Day 2 – Peronne to Fere-en-Tardenois
- Hombleux
- Noyon
- Ambleny
Day 3 Fere-en-Tardenois to Chamouilley
- Damery
- Chalons-en-Champagne
- Frignicourt
- Saint-Dizier
Day 4 Chamouilley to St.Maurice-sur-Vingeanne
- Joinville
- Foulain
- Langres
- Cusey
Day 5 St.Maurice-sur-Vingeanne to Vaux-et-Chantegrue
- Nantilly
- Valay
- Arc-et-Senans
- Censeau
Day 6 Vaux-et-Chantegrue to Gstaad
- Jougne
- Ballaigues (Suisse onwards)
- Orbe
- Saint-Martin
- Gruyeres
- Rougemont
Thanks in advance for any comments, help or advice!

I just looked at the swiss section because that is what I am famous with….. going to be a pretty brutal last day.
