Scenes from Cycling in France

We spent six weeks cycling in France, leaving Paris on 2 September, arriving at our most southerly point, Saintes Maries de la Mer, on 24 September, and cycling back into Paris on 13 October.  Altogether, we cycled about 1400 miles over the course of 37 riding days.  Because of some technical limitations associated with having no computer, the day-to-day progress was recorded in another blog.  Here are some of the photos that I took with my regular camera and could not post at that site.
