Big Cycle Part 2: Paris to Basel, a set on Flickr.

Here’s a collection of photographs taken from our cycle between Paris and Basel, largely along the glorious EuroVelo 6 cycle route.

You can browse them on Flickr (which might be easier and/or look nicer) if you click any of the images.

We are heading on our way again this morning: south out of Switzerland into Italy and Milan. From there we will be roughly following the EuroVelo 8 cycle route all the way through Croatia, Montenegro and Albania to Greece.

There are some maps of the EV8 route will be following online here and here.

    I would entreat you to enter Adventure Cycling’s bicycle travel photo contest. These are really great images. Details about the contest are here: http://www.adventurecycling.org/contests/bicycle-travel-photo-contest/

    In addition, my husband and I will be going to Europe to experience the EuroVelo system next spring. I haven’t picked which routes we’ll do yet but would love to know what conditions you found during your tour and what you would recommend for a short 2 week trip that would provide me with diverse routes (trails and roads mixed) and way-finding plus welcoming communities).

    Have a wonderful trip.

      Thanks Ginny. I’ve passed on the link to Laura who is responsible for the photos.

      We will probably follow EV8 for a month now so may be better informed by November but, so far, EV6 is the best cycle route I’ve ever followed. Well sign posted, largely traffic free, good surfaces and continuous over thousands of miles (I gather). France is also ideal for cycle touring: quiet roads, respectful drivers, good food (and cheap supermarkets) and easy wild camping.

      If you have any specific questions then please do email – [email protected].
