I live in Paris now, so most of my riding lately has been in France, mostly in Īle-de-France. I'll be back in the UK next summer before relocating to the US in autumn 2012. I did a tour in the Netherlands this past summer, and when I went to Switzerland in October, for a meeting outside Basel, I took my bike on the train from Paris and then cycled the 26 km each way to my meeting site. Next spring I'll do some touring, possibly in Languedoc, and I'm thinking of doing one or two 200K brevets too depending on my training time and work schedule.
Like ParisBuckeye, I find that French drivers are pretty attentive to cyclists. The motor-scooter and motorcycle riders, on the other hand.... And a lot of Parisian cyclists are also unpredictable and irritating themselves!
