Thank you! It sounds like it's worth taking the bike with me
I was in the Tarn region just N of Toulouse last August. Didn't have any specific routes to work with but French roads are so quiet I just started going all over the place. Even on the occasional times I was on an 'A road' I felt very safe and the motorists are very courteous to cyclists. Had a big truck behind me once and he patiently waited until there was a safe place to overtake; almost couldn't believe it. Saw lots of other 'roadies' and small pelotons as I cycled around. The only car that pulled out in front of me without looking was British!! Probably some of the most enjoyable cycling I've ever done.
