Bonjour cycling friends,
I'm planning a bike tour across France this summer (May 26 - June 18) from the Northeast town of Calais on the English channel to Marseille on the southern coast. I have two questions that I'm hoping to get some advice/suggestions on:
1) Does anybody have experience shipping a bike overseas either using FedEx/UPS or checking it along with you on a plane? Any insight on this topic would be much appreciated!
2) Does anybody have friends, enemy's, or family I might be able to stay with for a night? The approximate route will be passing through the following towns. Calais, Reims, Troyes, Dijon, through the Jura and the Alps, Grenoble, and of course ending in Marseille.
Thanks!
Aaron
