Early June we got 2 weeks off work with my girlfriend, the idea was to go to her mother in Dax from our city, Clermont-Ferrand.
We went up the massif central, along the Dordogne river, through the Causses du Quercy between Rocamadour and Cahors, following the Lot river for a bit, then through the Gascogne and the Landes. Once in Dax we were just 70km away from Biarritz and the ocean, we got there following the Adour river.
We did 9 days on the bike overall, part of it on veloroute, La vagabonde v87, la vallée de lot à vélo v86 and part of the EV3.
It's a great feeling to start the journey from your home and ending so far some days later with just your legs

Very jealous of your tour! I’ve only visited France once, but we spent some of our trip in the Dordogne region: St Cirq Lapopie and Cahors. The countryside you cycled through is breathtaking.
Nice photos. What camera did you use?
I see clipless pedals in one of the bikes, what shoes did you used ? im planning in doing a somewhat long trip and been debating whether or not use flat pedals, I like trekking a lot so idk if there are “comfy” clipless shoes that you can use for trekking.
Magnifique 😍
That looks like so much fun! One of the great things about a bike trip is you can generally EAT ALL YOU WANT and not gain any weight !
nice, I’m putting these places into my “want to go” list based on your photos:)
Thanks for sharing!
