Here are some pictures from my recent trip to Rouen et ses alentours: http://www.web-options.com/Rouen2013/
I cycled from Greenwich to Newhaven, ferry to Dieppe arriving at 4am, then cycled to Rouen. Later I took the train to Paris and cycled back to Rouen via Saint-Cloud, Versailles, Saint-Germain-en-Laye, Medan, Meulan, Giverny/Vernon and Les Andelys. Then a round trip to Ry (for Mme Bovary), Vascoeuil, Lyons la Foret, Mortemer, Fleury-sur-Andelle and back via Montmain. A day trip by train to Cleres, which is lovely, and finally cycled back from Rouen to Dieppe (in 3 hours!). 700km / 420 miles in total on the bike. The whole thing was really enjoyable, apart from getting caught up in rush hour traffic trying to get out of Paris. There are still many photos which I haven't looked at yet, but this is a quick selection mainly from Rouen. It wasn't specifically a photo trip - it's awkward to cycle and take pictures at the same time! The routes were determined by literary and arty choices, as well as their historical interest and beauty. I stayed in a lovely gite, which I can recommend to anyone who wants to spend a few days in Rouen: <http://www.gites-beffroy.fr/> I hope you enjoy the pictures. Some of them may seem a little obscure, but they're intended for people in my French circle who will get the references.
