&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;With 83 million foreign tourists in 2012, France is one of the most famous tourist destinations in the world. &lt;br /&gt;
[[Fichier:France 1.jpg|vignette]]&lt;br /&gt;
France has many cities of high cultural interest, beaches, rural regions that many enjoy for their beauty and tranquility, small and picturesque villages. A country that seduces travellers with its unfaltering familiar culture woven around café terraces, village-square markets and lace-curtained bistros with &#039;&#039;plat du jour&#039;&#039; (dish of the day) chalked on the board.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== You’ll enjoy ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* That long stick of bread, the &#039;&#039;baguette&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
* Many ways to get from one place to another&lt;br /&gt;
* More campgrounds than in any other country&lt;br /&gt;
* A restaurant in almost every village&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== You may dislike ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Few cycle paths in towns and they can be more of a nuisance than a help to an experienced cyclist.&lt;br /&gt;
* France closes between noon and 2pm or later&lt;br /&gt;
* Most shops close on Mondays&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== General information ==&lt;br /&gt;
[[Fichier:Dessin carnet.png|vignette]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Landscape ===&lt;br /&gt;
Distances are about 1 000 km north-south and east-west. France possesses a wide variety of landscapes, from coastal plains in the north and west to mountain ranges of the Alps in the south-east (the highest point is Mont Blanc 4 808 m), the Massif Central in the centre-south and the Pyrenees in the south-west. France is bounded by natural borders with the coastline (3 400 km), mountains and Rhine.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Weather ===&lt;br /&gt;
The north and north-west have a temperate climate. In the south-east, a Mediterranean climate prevails. In the west, the climate is predominantly oceanic with high rainfall, mild winters and cool to warm summers. Inland the climate becomes more continental with hot, stormy summers, colder winters and less rain.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Wind ===&lt;br /&gt;
No persistent wind from any direction&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Getting there ===&lt;br /&gt;
By plane: from/to Paris: Roissy-Charles de Gaulle, Orly or regional airports. Most regional airports have flights to western Europe and North Africa.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
By ferry: numerous services from England to France. Or try Santander in Spain for a shorter ride to south-west France.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
By train: The French rail company, SNCF, provides direct service from some European countries using Eurostar, Thalys, Intercity. Check current regulations for taking a bike on Eurostar, and look at the Eurotunnel website for cycling access to the terminal on the English side. You can take a bike on TER trains, the slowest. You can take a bike on Corail trains, the inter-city service, but you need a booking. Some TGVs have compartments for complete bikes, but you need a reservation. Older TGVs will take a bike only in a bag.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
By bus: Eurolines are cheaper but you can&#039;t take a bike, although you can try negotiating at the counter.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
By bike: France is one of those unusual countries in which almost all the borders are natural features. The only flat borders are along the Atlantic south of the Gironde (it flows through Bordeaux, in the southwest) and along the western part of the border with Belgium.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Entry requirements: No border controls between countries in the Schengen area. Note that this does not include Britain and Ireland. EU, EEA and Swiss citizens as those of many other countries do not need a visa for a stay in the whole of the Schengen area (not simply in France) of less than 90 days. People from some other countries need a visa for a stay of any length. Check before you leave.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Language ===&lt;br /&gt;
French. Many people speak some English, especially in tourist areas, but it&#039;s especially well thought of in France to try a few French words first. However badly you speak them, they will be appreciated.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== On your bike ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Maps ===&lt;br /&gt;
There are two map companies for road riding. One is Michelin, the tyre-maker, and the other is IGN, the national mapping agency. Scales 1 cm to 1,5 km or 1,75 km.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Traffic rules ===&lt;br /&gt;
Avoid red roads (national roads); white roads (communal roads) are safe and pleasant; yellow (departmental roads) are bigger. Don&#039;t forget to cycle on the right! France uses standard European traffic signs. Traffic lights are on the stopping side of the junction; stop at the orange or red light. You cannot turn right on a red light unless a small cycling sign or a green arrow tells you so&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If the village you seek involves a change of direction at a junction, a sign will show it. If it doesn&#039;t, ride straight on.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There is a rule across continental Europe that seems more pronounced in France than elsewhere: priority from the right. Remember that you DON&#039;T have priority over traffic from the right unless a sign specifically tells you so. It is the ABSENCE of a sign that you&#039;re looking for, whether it&#039;s a metal sign or a painted line on the road.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There are few cycle paths in towns but they have the same priority as the road you are shadowing. Paths are obligatory if there is a round blue sign printed with a white cyclist&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;Voies vertes&#039;&#039; and &#039;&#039;véloroutes&#039;&#039; are safe and delightful cycle paths, a tranquil way to ride across the country. They show you the country, since they meander rather than take the obvious and busy route. Being for bikes, they pass through stone gates, under tunnels and across meadows where drivers can&#039;t or wouldn&#039;t go.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Repairs ===&lt;br /&gt;
You will find bike shops in most towns and all cities. If you can&#039;t find a proper shop, look for branches of &#039;&#039;Décathlon&#039;&#039; or &#039;&#039;Go-Sport&#039;&#039; or large supermarkets such as &#039;&#039;Leclerc&#039;&#039; (say &amp;quot;Luh-clare&amp;quot;) and &#039;&#039;Carrefour&#039;&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Local transport ===&lt;br /&gt;
Trains are fast, efficient, comfortable and inexpensive. The staff are generally friendly, trains usually run to time most and there&#039;s no better way to travel if you&#039;re not riding a bike. France has an excellent rail network that covers almost all the country. TER trains are, despite the &amp;quot;express&amp;quot; in the name, almost-all-station stoppers. You can take a bike on all TER trains but you have to use a carriage marked with a bike sign. It&#039;s often at the front or back of the train; ask on the platform. As you enter the platform area, don&#039;t forget to push your ticket into the yellow stamping machine beside the entrance.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In Paris, the metro does not take bikes. In the suburbs, especially to and from Charles de Gaulle airport at Roissy, the RER generally does take bikes. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Daily life ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Accommodation ===&lt;br /&gt;
[[Fichier:France 2.jpg|vignette]]&lt;br /&gt;
Youth hostels: around 160. Information and map on the FUAJ web site at [https://www.fuaj.org/ www.fuaj.org]. Have a look at the network of &#039;&#039;gîtes d&#039;étape&#039;&#039; on [http://www.gites-refuges.com/www/ www.gites-refuges.com]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hotels: well provided and generally as little for two people as for one.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Bed and breakfast: Look for &#039;&#039;chambres d&#039;hôtes&#039;&#039;, &amp;quot;bed and breakfast&amp;quot; or the initials &amp;quot;B&amp;amp;B&amp;quot;. Prices can work out more expensive than at a hotel of equivalent standard.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Camp sites: very popular, &#039;&#039;Camping municipal&#039;&#039; or &#039;&#039;camping à la ferme&#039;&#039; will be cheaper, friendlier and quieter. Some sites close at the end of August and almost always by the end of October, not to reopen until April at the earliest.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Wild camping: with a small tent, for a night,  people are favourable towards quiet bike riders. But it is not allowed everywhere, so ask permission if in doubt.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Supplies ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Food ====&lt;br /&gt;
Small supermarkets, shops and markets (local fresh food) in towns (closed noon to 2pm). In the suburbs supermarkets stay open over lunch. There are restaurants in any village of size, with a &#039;&#039;plat du jour&#039;&#039;. Remember to say &#039;&#039;bonjour&#039;&#039; on entering a small shop or bar; it is impolite not to.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Water ====&lt;br /&gt;
Drinkable unless a sign says otherwise. There is a tap in most cemeteries and you can drink the water.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Stoves ====&lt;br /&gt;
Gaz cartridge stoves in supermarkets, campsites, petrol stations. Multi-fuel stoves are uncommon.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Mobile-Internet ====&lt;br /&gt;
Mobile phone coverage is fairly good across the country.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Electricity is 220 to 230v 50Hz. You will need an adaptor for US and UK plugs and a voltage converter for American equipment.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Contacts ===&lt;br /&gt;
Meeting the locals: Strangers are not always greeted with a smile but don&#039;t worry, it&#039;s not coldness but politeness. Try to speak a few French words for the first contact. They will help you if you struggle or even if you have to speak English.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Children                    ===&lt;br /&gt;
Kids are welcome everywhere&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Stay safe ===&lt;br /&gt;
One of the safest countries in the world. However, watch for pickpocketing and purse-snatching in tourist hot-spots.&lt;br /&gt;

Camp sites: very popular, &#039;&#039;Camping municipal&#039;&#039; or &#039;&#039;camping à la ferme&#039;&#039; will be cheaper, friendlier and quieter. Some sites close at the end of August and almost always by the end of October, not to reopen until April at the earliest.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Wild camping: with a small tent, for a night,  people are favourable towards quiet bike riders. But it is not allowed everywhere, so ask permission if in doubt.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Supplies ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Food ====&lt;br /&gt;
Small supermarkets, shops and markets (local fresh food) in towns (closed noon to 2pm). In the suburbs supermarkets stay open over lunch. There are restaurants in any village of size, with a &#039;&#039;plat du jour&#039;&#039;. Remember to say &#039;&#039;bonjour&#039;&#039; on entering a small shop or bar; it is impolite not to.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Water ====&lt;br /&gt;
Drinkable unless a sign says otherwise. There is a tap in most cemeteries and you can drink the water.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Stoves ====&lt;br /&gt;
Gaz cartridge stoves in supermarkets, campsites, petrol stations. Multi-fuel stoves are uncommon.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Mobile-Internet ====&lt;br /&gt;
Mobile phone coverage is fairly good across the country.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Electricity is 220 to 230v 50Hz. You will need an adaptor for US and UK plugs and a voltage converter for American equipment.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Contacts ===&lt;br /&gt;
Meeting the locals: Strangers are not always greeted with a smile but don&#039;t worry, it&#039;s not coldness but politeness. Try to speak a few French words for the first contact. They will help you if you struggle or even if you have to speak English.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Children                    ===&lt;br /&gt;
Kids are welcome everywhere&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Stay safe ===&lt;br /&gt;
One of the safest countries in the world. However, watch for pickpocketing and purse-snatching in tourist hot-spots.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;With 83 million foreign tourists in 2012, France is one of the most famous tourist destinations in the world. &lt;br /&gt;
[[Fichier:France 1.jpg|vignette]]&lt;br /&gt;
France has many cities of high cultural interest, beaches, rural regions that many enjoy for their beauty and tranquility, small and picturesque villages. A country that seduces travellers with its unfaltering familiar culture woven around café terraces, village-square markets and lace-curtained bistros with &#039;&#039;plat du jour&#039;&#039; (dish of the day) chalked on the board.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== You’ll enjoy ===&lt;br /&gt;

* That long stick of bread, the &#039;&#039;baguette&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
* Many ways to get from one place to another&lt;br /&gt;
* More campgrounds than in any other country&lt;br /&gt;
* A restaurant in almost every village&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== You may dislike ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Few cycle paths in towns and they can be more of a nuisance than a help to an experienced cyclist.&lt;br /&gt;
* France closes between noon and 2pm or later&lt;br /&gt;
* Most shops close on Mondays&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== General information ==&lt;br /&gt;
[[Fichier:Dessin carnet.png|vignette]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Landscape ===&lt;br /&gt;
Distances are about 1 000 km north-south and east-west. France possesses a wide variety of landscapes, from coastal plains in the north and west to mountain ranges of the Alps in the south-east (the highest point is Mont Blanc 4 808 m), the Massif Central in the centre-south and the Pyrenees in the south-west. France is bounded by natural borders with the coastline (3 400 km), mountains and Rhine.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Weather ===&lt;br /&gt;
The north and north-west have a temperate climate. In the south-east, a Mediterranean climate prevails. In the west, the climate is predominantly oceanic with high rainfall, mild winters and cool to warm summers. Inland the climate becomes more continental with hot, stormy summers, colder winters and less rain.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Wind ===&lt;br /&gt;
No persistent wind from any direction&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Getting there ===&lt;br /&gt;
By plane: from/to Paris: Roissy-Charles de Gaulle, Orly or regional airports. Most regional airports have flights to western Europe and North Africa.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
By ferry: numerous services from England to France. Or try Santander in Spain for a shorter ride to south-west France.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
By train: The French rail company, SNCF, provides direct service from some European countries using Eurostar, Thalys, Intercity. Check current regulations for taking a bike on Eurostar, and look at the Eurotunnel website for cycling access to the terminal on the English side. You can take a bike on TER trains, the slowest. You can take a bike on Corail trains, the inter-city service, but you need a booking. Some TGVs have compartments for complete bikes, but you need a reservation. Older TGVs will take a bike only in a bag.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
By bus: Eurolines are cheaper but you can&#039;t take a bike, although you can try negotiating at the counter.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
By bike: France is one of those unusual countries in which almost all the borders are natural features. The only flat borders are along the Atlantic south of the Gironde (it flows through Bordeaux, in the southwest) and along the western part of the border with Belgium.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Entry requirements: No border controls between countries in the Schengen area. Note that this does not include Britain and Ireland. EU, EEA and Swiss citizens as those of many other countries do not need a visa for a stay in the whole of the Schengen area (not simply in France) of less than 90 days. People from some other countries need a visa for a stay of any length. Check before you leave.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Language ===&lt;br /&gt;
French. Many people speak some English, especially in tourist areas, but it&#039;s especially well thought of in France to try a few French words first. However badly you speak them, they will be appreciated.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== On your bike ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Maps ===&lt;br /&gt;
There are two map companies for road riding. One is Michelin, the tyre-maker, and the other is IGN, the national mapping agency. Scales 1 cm to 1,5 km or 1,75 km.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Traffic rules ===&lt;br /&gt;
Avoid red roads (national roads); white roads (communal roads) are safe and pleasant; yellow (departmental roads) are bigger. Don&#039;t forget to cycle on the right! France uses standard European traffic signs. Traffic lights are on the stopping side of the junction; stop at the orange or red light. You cannot turn right on a red light unless a small cycling sign or a green arrow tells you so&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If the village you seek involves a change of direction at a junction, a sign will show it. If it doesn&#039;t, ride straight on.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There is a rule across continental Europe that seems more pronounced in France than elsewhere: priority from the right. Remember that you DON&#039;T have priority over traffic from the right unless a sign specifically tells you so. It is the ABSENCE of a sign that you&#039;re looking for, whether it&#039;s a metal sign or a painted line on the road.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There are few cycle paths in towns but they have the same priority as the road you are shadowing. Paths are obligatory if there is a round blue sign printed with a white cyclist&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;Voies vertes&#039;&#039; and &#039;&#039;véloroutes&#039;&#039; are safe and delightful cycle paths, a tranquil way to ride across the country. They show you the country, since they meander rather than take the obvious and busy route. Being for bikes, they pass through stone gates, under tunnels and across meadows where drivers can&#039;t or wouldn&#039;t go.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Repairs ===&lt;br /&gt;
You will find bike shops in most towns and all cities. If you can&#039;t find a proper shop, look for branches of &#039;&#039;Décathlon&#039;&#039; or &#039;&#039;Go-Sport&#039;&#039; or large supermarkets such as &#039;&#039;Leclerc&#039;&#039; (say &amp;quot;Luh-clare&amp;quot;) and &#039;&#039;Carrefour&#039;&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Local transport ===&lt;br /&gt;
Trains are fast, efficient, comfortable and inexpensive. The staff are generally friendly, trains usually run to time most and there&#039;s no better way to travel if you&#039;re not riding a bike. France has an excellent rail network that covers almost all the country. TER trains are, despite the &amp;quot;express&amp;quot; in the name, almost-all-station stoppers. You can take a bike on all TER trains but you have to use a carriage marked with a bike sign. It&#039;s often at the front or back of the train; ask on the platform. As you enter the platform area, don&#039;t forget to push your ticket into the yellow stamping machine beside the entrance.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In Paris, the metro does not take bikes. In the suburbs, especially to and from Charles de Gaulle airport at Roissy, the RER generally does take bikes. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Daily life ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Accommodation ===&lt;br /&gt;
[[Fichier:France 2.jpg|vignette]]&lt;br /&gt;
Youth hostels: around 160. Information and map on the FUAJ web site at [https://www.fuaj.org/ www.fuaj.org]. Have a look at the network of &#039;&#039;gîtes d&#039;étape&#039;&#039; on [http://www.gites-refuges.com/www/ www.gites-refuges.com]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hotels: well provided and generally as little for two people as for one.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Bed and breakfast: Look for &#039;&#039;chambres d&#039;hôtes&#039;&#039;, &amp;quot;bed and breakfast&amp;quot; or the initials &amp;quot;B&amp;amp;B&amp;quot;. Prices can work out more expensive than at a hotel of equivalent standard.&lt;br /&gt;

Mobile phone coverage is fairly good across the country.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

By bike: France is one of those unusual countries in which almost all the borders are natural features. The only flat borders are along the Atlantic south of the Gironde (it flows through Bordeaux, in the southwest) and along the western part of the border with Belgium.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Entry requirements: No border controls between countries in the Schengen area. Note that this does not include Britain and Ireland. EU, EEA and Swiss citizens as those of many other countries do not need a visa for a stay in the whole of the Schengen area (not simply in France) of less than 90 days. People from some other countries need a visa for a stay of any length. Check before you leave.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Language ===&lt;br /&gt;
French. Many people speak some English, especially in tourist areas, but it&#039;s especially well thought of in France to try a few French words first. However badly you speak them, they will be appreciated.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== On your bike ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Maps ===&lt;br /&gt;
There are two map companies for road riding. One is Michelin, the tyre-maker, and the other is IGN, the national mapping agency. Scales 1 cm to 1,5 km or 1,75 km.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Traffic rules ===&lt;br /&gt;
Avoid red roads (national roads); white roads (communal roads) are safe and pleasant; yellow (departmental roads) are bigger. Don&#039;t forget to cycle on the right! France uses standard European traffic signs. Traffic lights are on the stopping side of the junction; stop at the orange or red light. You cannot turn right on a red light unless a small cycling sign or a green arrow tells you so&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If the village you seek involves a change of direction at a junction, a sign will show it. If it doesn&#039;t, ride straight on.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There is a rule across continental Europe that seems more pronounced in France than elsewhere: priority from the right. Remember that you DON&#039;T have priority over traffic from the right unless a sign specifically tells you so. It is the ABSENCE of a sign that you&#039;re looking for, whether it&#039;s a metal sign or a painted line on the road.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There are few cycle paths in towns but they have the same priority as the road you are shadowing. Paths are obligatory if there is a round blue sign printed with a white cyclist&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;Voies vertes&#039;&#039; and &#039;&#039;véloroutes&#039;&#039; are safe and delightful cycle paths, a tranquil way to ride across the country. They show you the country, since they meander rather than take the obvious and busy route. Being for bikes, they pass through stone gates, under tunnels and across meadows where drivers can&#039;t or wouldn&#039;t go.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Repairs ===&lt;br /&gt;
You will find bike shops in most towns and all cities. If you can&#039;t find a proper shop, look for branches of &#039;&#039;Décathlon&#039;&#039; or &#039;&#039;Go-Sport&#039;&#039; or large supermarkets such as &#039;&#039;Leclerc&#039;&#039; (say &amp;quot;Luh-clare&amp;quot;) and &#039;&#039;Carrefour&#039;&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Local transport ===&lt;br /&gt;
Trains are fast, efficient, comfortable and inexpensive. The staff are generally friendly, trains usually run to time most and there&#039;s no better way to travel if you&#039;re not riding a bike. France has an excellent rail network that covers almost all the country. TER trains are, despite the &amp;quot;express&amp;quot; in the name, almost-all-station stoppers. You can take a bike on all TER trains but you have to use a carriage marked with a bike sign. It&#039;s often at the front or back of the train; ask on the platform. As you enter the platform area, don&#039;t forget to push your ticket into the yellow stamping machine beside the entrance.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In Paris, the metro does not take bikes. In the suburbs, especially to and from Charles de Gaulle airport at Roissy, the RER generally does take bikes. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Daily life ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Accommodation ===&lt;br /&gt;
[[Fichier:France 2.jpg|vignette]]&lt;br /&gt;
Youth hostels: around 160. Information and map on the FUAJ web site at [https://www.fuaj.org/ www.fuaj.org]. Have a look at the network of &#039;&#039;gîtes d&#039;étape&#039;&#039; on [http://www.gites-refuges.com/www/ www.gites-refuges.com]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hotels: well provided and generally as little for two people as for one.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Bed and breakfast: Look for &#039;&#039;chambres d&#039;hôtes&#039;&#039;, &amp;quot;bed and breakfast&amp;quot; or the initials &amp;quot;B&amp;amp;B&amp;quot;. Prices can work out more expensive than at a hotel of equivalent standard.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Camp sites: very popular, &#039;&#039;Camping municipal&#039;&#039; or &#039;&#039;camping à la ferme&#039;&#039; will be cheaper, friendlier and quieter. Some sites close at the end of August and almost always by the end of October, not to reopen until April at the earliest.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Wild camping: with a small tent, for a night,  people are favourable towards quiet bike riders. But it is not allowed everywhere, so ask permission if in doubt.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Supplies ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Food ====&lt;br /&gt;
Small supermarkets, shops and markets (local fresh food) in towns (closed noon to 2pm). In the suburbs supermarkets stay open over lunch. There are restaurants in any village of size, with a &#039;&#039;plat du jour&#039;&#039;. Remember to say &#039;&#039;bonjour&#039;&#039; on entering a small shop or bar; it is impolite not to.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Water ====&lt;br /&gt;
Drinkable unless a sign says otherwise. There is a tap in most cemeteries and you can drink the water.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Stoves ====&lt;br /&gt;
Gaz cartridge stoves in supermarkets, campsites, petrol stations. Multi-fuel stoves are uncommon.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Mobile-Internet ====&lt;br /&gt;
Mobile phone coverage is fairly good across the country.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Electricity is 220 to 230v 50Hz. You will need an adaptor for US and UK plugs and a voltage converter for American equipment.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Contacts ===&lt;br /&gt;
Meeting the locals: Strangers are not always greeted with a smile but don&#039;t worry, it&#039;s not coldness but politeness. Try to speak a few French words for the first contact. They will help you if you struggle or even if you have to speak English.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Children                    ===&lt;br /&gt;
Kids are welcome everywhere&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Stay safe ===&lt;br /&gt;
One of the safest countries in the world. However, watch for pickpocketing and purse-snatching in tourist hot-spots.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;With 83 million foreign tourists in 2012, France is one of the most famous tourist destinations in the world. &lt;br /&gt;
[[Fichier:France 1.jpg|vignette]]&lt;br /&gt;
France has many cities of high cultural interest, beaches, rural regions that many enjoy for their beauty and tranquility, small and picturesque villages. A country that seduces travellers with its unfaltering familiar culture woven around café terraces, village-square markets and lace-curtained bistros with &#039;&#039;plat du jour&#039;&#039; (dish of the day) chalked on the board.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== You’ll enjoy ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* That long stick of bread, the &#039;&#039;baguette&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
* Many ways to get from one place to another&lt;br /&gt;
* More campgrounds than in any other country&lt;br /&gt;
* A restaurant in almost every village&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== You may dislike ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Few cycle paths in towns and they can be more of a nuisance than a help to an experienced cyclist.&lt;br /&gt;
* France closes between noon and 2pm or later&lt;br /&gt;
* Most shops close on Mondays&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== General information ==&lt;br /&gt;
[[Fichier:Dessin carnet.png|vignette]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Landscape ===&lt;br /&gt;
Distances are about 1 000 km north-south and east-west. France possesses a wide variety of landscapes, from coastal plains in the north and west to mountain ranges of the Alps in the south-east (the highest point is Mont Blanc 4 808 m), the Massif Central in the centre-south and the Pyrenees in the south-west. France is bounded by natural borders with the coastline (3 400 km), mountains and Rhine.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Weather ===&lt;br /&gt;
The north and north-west have a temperate climate. In the south-east, a Mediterranean climate prevails. In the west, the climate is predominantly oceanic with high rainfall, mild winters and cool to warm summers. Inland the climate becomes more continental with hot, stormy summers, colder winters and less rain.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Wind ===&lt;br /&gt;
No persistent wind from any direction&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Getting there ===&lt;br /&gt;
By plane: from/to Paris: Roissy-Charles de Gaulle, Orly or regional airports. Most regional airports have flights to western Europe and North Africa.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
By ferry: numerous services from England to France. Or try Santander in Spain for a shorter ride to south-west France.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
By train: The French rail company, SNCF, provides direct service from some European countries using Eurostar, Thalys, Intercity. Check current regulations for taking a bike on Eurostar, and look at the Eurotunnel website for cycling access to the terminal on the English side. You can take a bike on TER trains, the slowest. You can take a bike on Corail trains, the inter-city service, but you need a booking. Some TGVs have compartments for complete bikes, but you need a reservation. Older TGVs will take a bike only in a bag.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
By bus: Eurolines are cheaper but you can&#039;t take a bike, although you can try negotiating at the counter.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
By bike: France is one of those unusual countries in which almost all the borders are natural features. The only flat borders are along the Atlantic south of the Gironde (it flows through Bordeaux, in the southwest) and along the western part of the border with Belgium.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;[[Fichier:Tunisie 1.png|vignette]]&lt;br /&gt;
A seulement 24 heures de bateau, mais déjà sur le continent africain, la  Tunisie est un petit pays accueillant et facile d’accès (bateau, langue française). Une situation politique intéressante et changeante, des facilités de voyage avec le réseau des auberges de jeunesse (à vérifier)  et les transports collectifs (train, bus , taxi collectif). Une grande variété de paysages, (bords de mer, désert, chott, montagne, ksour,....). Si vous ne voulez pas pédaler idiot, la présence romaine, phénicienne, un islam ancien, ont laissé de splendides traces, dont certaines, perdues au bord de la mer et gardées par les chèvres, vous donneront l&#039;impression d’être le premier à les découvrir.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

* Les déchets&lt;br /&gt;
* Un islam moins tolérant qu’il y a quelques années&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
  &lt;br /&gt;
== Généralités ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Distances/reliefs ===&lt;br /&gt;
[[Fichier:Dessin carnet.png|vignette]]&lt;br /&gt;
Petit pays,  800 Km nord-sud et 320 est-ouest. Tunis -Tataouine 440 Km / Sfax-Tozeur 250 Km. Petites montagnes et grandes vallées au nord-ouest, grandes plaines au centre et à l’ouest. Désert au sud avec quelques reliefs entre Gabes et Tataouine. Sommet maxi 1544 m, Mt Chambi, prés de Kasserine.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Météo/ Climat ===&lt;br /&gt;
Il existe une grande différence entre le nord où il peut faire froid et humide, et le sud qui peut être caniculaire. Périodes : mai, juin, septembre, mi-octobre dans le nord et sur la côte est. D‘octobre au début du printemps dans le grand sud (en novembre il fait la t° de Marseille en août).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Vents ===&lt;br /&gt;
Les vents dominants sont plutôt orientés : nord-ouest sur la côte nord et le Cap Bon, nord-est sur la côte est, sud-est dans le grand sud. Vents de sable fin avril début mai dans le sud.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Y aller ===&lt;br /&gt;
Deux aéroports principaux (Tunis et Djerba), mais accès possible par bateau, avec une ligne régulière Marseille-Tunis (SNCM -CTN) 2 fois par semaine, 20 heures de voyage… pas de supplément bagages et bilan carbone au top.           &#039;&#039;&#039;Visa :&#039;&#039;&#039; Pas de visa&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Langues ===&lt;br /&gt;
Arabe, et français pratiqué.     &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== À vélo ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Carte / Guide ===&lt;br /&gt;
[[Fichier:Dessin carte.png|vignette]]&lt;br /&gt;
Le Guide « Lonely Planet » est intéressant. La carte Michelin Tunisie 744 au 1/800 000 répertorie la majorité des routes. Dans le sud, la tendance est au goudronnage des routes encore répertoriées &amp;quot;pistes&amp;quot;, rendant l’accès plus facile à vélo.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Routes-Circulation ===&lt;br /&gt;
Les grandes routes, notamment la P1, sont à éviter car dangereuses. Prenez les petites routes ou les transports en commun, si vous avez des liaisons à faire. Pas d’itinéraires dédiés aux cyclistes, mais des kms de petites routes et pistes sympathiques. Les indications sont en arabe et en français (peu d’indications dans le sud). Le rétroviseur et le gilet fluo sont utiles. Ne circulez pas la nuit.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Vélo ===&lt;br /&gt;
Un VTC ou vélo de randonnée classique sont  suffisants, les pistes, au pire, sont sableuses mais pas « cassantes ».&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Réparations ====&lt;br /&gt;
Des magasins de vélos dans les villes importantes, et des bricoleurs de génie dans tous les bourgs. Emportez vos pièces détachées.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Transports  locaux ===&lt;br /&gt;
Pratiques et pas chers, ils vous permettent des liaisons rapides et faciles : réseau ferré « Tunis / Tozeur via Sfax » et un autre réseau « Tunis vers le nord-ouest ; Les vélos et bagages sont en principe transportés dans le compartiment à bagages ( sauf dimanche et jours fériés).  Précisez que vous vous en occupez. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Bus, possible, à voir avec le chauffeur selon la place disponible (attention soutes souvent petites, démontage d’une roue).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Taxi collectif dans presque toutes les villes, à condition de démonter un peu (par ex la roue avant) selon la taille du véhicule. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Rouler au quotidien ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Hébergements ===&lt;br /&gt;
[[Fichier:Vélo-campeur.png|vignette]]&lt;br /&gt;
Auberges de jeunesse : un bon réseau couvre presque tout le pays , dortoirs et chambres, pas besoin de la carte AJ, une nuit pour 4 à 6 euros, attention à la saturation en été et vacances.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hôtels : nombreux et bon marché (entre 30 et 50 € pour 2 et avec PD).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Chez l’habitant : début de structuration.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Camping organisé : très peu, quelques-uns dans les zones touristiques du sud.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Camping sauvage : possible dans les zones rurales, idéal dans les oasis et palmeraie (selon état des cultures dans les parcelles).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Réseaux d’accueil : peu répandu&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Approvisionnements ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Nourriture ====&lt;br /&gt;
Partout des petites boutiques pour acheter les produits de base, de nombreux restaurants de type kebab, pizzas … repas entre 2 et 5 euros&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Eau ====&lt;br /&gt;
Potable dans tous le pays même si parfois un peu terreuse... Bouteilles vendues dans presque toutes les boutiques. Prévoir des réserves pour certaines routes du sud où il y a peu de boutiques.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Réchaud ====&lt;br /&gt;
Peu ou pas de camping gaz, difficile de trouver de l&#039;alcool à bruler en dehors des grandes villes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Téléphonie mobile-Internet ====&lt;br /&gt;
Les opérateurs proposent un numéro Tunisien avec internet, sans engagements, pour une somme modique. Wi-fi dans les hôtels[[File:Rencontre.png|thumb|Rencontre]]&lt;br /&gt;
=== Contacts ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Relations ====&lt;br /&gt;
Facilité de relation avec la population. Bonne expression française au nord et dans les grandes villes, moins de facilités au sud et dans les villages, il est très agréable de connaître quelques  mots d&#039;arabe pour les premiers contacts. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Tourisme ====&lt;br /&gt;
Pression relative sur la côte  est et nord et le sud, mais la révolution a fait fuir le tourisme d’hôtel.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Habillement ====&lt;br /&gt;
Eviter les tenues provocantes (short, tenue moulante, débardeur,...) . Baignez vous en caleçon pour les hommes et caleçon et tee-shirt pour les filles (en dehors des stations touristiques). En évitant de choquer, vos contacts seront facilités.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Enfants ===&lt;br /&gt;
Les enfants sont bien accueillis en  Tunisie. Hygiène moyenne  et attention à la chaleur dans le sud. Eviter absolument les grandes routes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Sécurité ===&lt;br /&gt;
Situation contrastée sur la route, en moyenne, respect du cycliste mais quelques automobiliste (notamment camions) dangereux. Chaleur dans le Sud. Quelques bandes de chiens. Le pays vit une révolution qui entraîne des mouvements de foule à  éviter (mais les touristes n’ont jamais été pris à partie). Quelques barrages sur les routes du centre (2012) mais les cyclistes passent. Présences de quelques bandes islamistes du côté ouest, proches de la frontière algérienne (Mt Chambi)&lt;br /&gt;
