This book was released on 2018-07-05 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Liberté, Fraternité, Égalité-the heritage of the French, Celts, Romans, Visigoths, Saxons, Franks, Britons, the Dominican and Cistercian orders all influenced the civilization and culture of Burgundy. They have a grand history, and you can look at their monuments everywhere. What should you expect in the twenty-first century? By cycling (of course) and staying in a location away from less-than-calm sightseers, visitors such as you may realize that contemporary Burgundy benefits from family, flowers, cuisine (cooking and food), agriculture, solid stone houses and many additional attributes. This guidebook focuses on 16 cycling routes around west and east Burgundy. There are 36 remarks on villages, canals, and points of interest. Included with each route are Waypoints that locate each with its longitude and latitude in degrees, minutes and seconds, and in digital format. Basic data are included on selecting a community and a gîte, bringing your bike or renting, having a vehicle, driving in France, what to bring, and buying groceries. As with all other BICYCLE YOUR FRANCE guidebooks, there is also a companion QUEUE SHEETS, with just the Waypoint GPS located listings, route maps and elevation profiles (duplicating that information in the guidebook). Details: 106 pages; 11" x 8.5"; English; 16 two-page color route maps with elevation profiles and Waypoints; ten town maps and descriptive graphics; 177 color photographs. In addition to the print format, this guidebook is available as a Kindle(R) E-book.

Book excerpt: Walter Judson Moore's second Burgundy cycling guidebook contains 16 new and original loops with comprehensive maps, elevation profiles, point to point and turn directions, restaurants and orientation features plus detail maps for the villages with extra complexity. Color maps for each loop have photographs that help visualize the ride. This guide reduces travel stress by making clear what to expect at every turn from arrival in Paris to buying groceries at a supermarche. Lodging in a Gite Rural (holiday cottage) benefits not only your budget but also your grasp of village life. BICYCLE YOUR FRANCE: SECRET BURGUNDY expands your understanding of a gracious culture and the delight of bicycling in this unique region. These welcoming and friendly people live a 3,000-year-old history. They seem incapable of serving anything but fine food and drink. Their dwellings, roads, bridges and railways last hundreds of years. Flowers grow at the end of most vineyards, around many houses and highlight village squares. There is no litter. The pride practiced in agriculture is like creating artwork. A cyclist appreciates these traits better than most who examine the world. On a bicycle in Burgundy you pedal up hills, on less traveled roads and through villages. You won't miss small slopes, big hills, narrow roads, winding lanes, hamlets and bustling market towns.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Geographically, the route maps and directions for this guidebook focuses on the Roman Provence Region of France of the northern Gard and western Vaucluse Departments, the Drôme Department north and east into the Rhône Alpes, and the southern Ardèche Department. The routes start from three locations: Crest in the Drôme, Vallon-Pont-d'Arc in the Ardèche and Pont du Gard west of Avignon. The Gorges de la Baume & Cirque de Combe Laval route is the outlier due to the staggering beauty of the area.Why this area of France? Not for the industrial Rhône Valley. But, if you wander 20 to 30 kilometers east or west of the Rhône Valley you will find the medieval hilltop villages, deep gorges with rushing rivers, Roman structures and very hospitable people that want to help.Fifteen routes are mapped in detailed color with elevation profiles and exacting, step-by-step directions (data gathered to the nearest 0.2 kilometer).Motorists have not changed in rural France. They are still surprisingly (for a North American) courteous toward cyclists. You can always stop beside the narrow, paved roads in these routes for a break and not be concerned by traffic. You may buy lavender honey, fresh asparagus and strawberries from the farmer, a bottle of wine at a vineyard or olive oil in a morning market. How about riding across the 2,000-year-old, dry laid Pont du Gard aqueduct, the largest constructed by the Romans? The list of experiences is extensive. You will want to come back.There are fifteen cycling routes mapped and profiled. All circuits are on paved roads, except for three kilometers on a partly gravel, partly potholed stretch used to avoid some traffic. Motor vehicle traffic on these routes is light.In addition to the print format, the guide is available for Amazon(r) Kindle and Apple(r) iPad devices.

Geographically, the large area east of Argentat is the Massif Central. The Dordogne Rivière headwaters are here. The river flows generally west, cutting through the limestone plateau.Glaciers from the recent ice age, the Dordogne and its tributaries, have created gorges with steep-sided, U-shaped cross-sections.
