We've traveled through France several times before but we usually go straight down the middle of it or go down the west side to the Spanish border in 2 days of hard riding. This time we want to go down the East side starting from Calais and then ending up in Monaco. We'd like to ride through Provence and we'd like to then cut across country to the Toulouse area before going across the Pyrenees into Spain. I'm not looking for an exact route, just recommendations on areas to aim for or to avoid. We'll be doing it in 4 days or about 250 miles per day.
I've had some cracking recommendations on here before for our previous trips
