Cycling in France

[pyrolinka]

Hi everybody!

I have decided to travel across France, I wonna see places like Paris, Lyon, Montpellier and Toulouse. Is there anybody who knows good guides which could be helpfull for this trip. I'm intested in getting info about the best roads and places to sleep...

For any advice, many thanks!

Cycling France by Lonely Planet. Seems it was Ulysses Books also has a good cycling guide about France.
Heading towards Toulouse. Ride up the Midi Canal from Beziers to Carcassonne and on to Toulouse. Peaceful, quiet cycling. Don't miss it.

I just ran across this site with great bike maps for different parts of France.

I purchased a few for my upcoming trip in May. I'll report on what I think of them once I get them.

This page has 52 links to bike touring in France information (http://www.biketouringtips.com/searchTips.html?country=France&state=&place=&id=&subtopic=). Not all of them will be of interest to you, but you will find lots of good stuff there.

Yes, the Canal du Midi is a fantastic bike ride. BEAUTIFUL scenery, not a car to be seen for over a week! :)
