France is one of those countries one should definitely visit, but reluctant too. Why
- All the strikes wrt transport
- Worried by the language and the reputation of French speakers to only English speakers
- And a thousand years of British/French history !
So we chose initially to do a barge and cycling tour on the RHONE river, this is the best of both. Unfortunately the tour was cancelled too late (slightly dubious I think) and we were stuck. Do we cycle only or boat only. Took the boat option.
Please read my review at the end, too see how our negative thoughts were or were not justified !
