Once in France the range and cheapness of restaurants will soon become apparent. Restaurants roughly divide into two types. These will fill you to the brim and are highly recommended.
Children are very welcome in all restaurants and many have a children,s menu.
It has been said that France has more bars than people, and although this is a slight exaggeration it is hard to find even the tiniest village without one. These make wonderful watering holes for thirsty cyclists, and nobody minds how sweaty you are and children are very welcome. Beware the cost of soft drinks which are more expensive than beer. Don,t believe the stories about French tap water, it is all drinkable unless otherwise marked. Classic touring areas like the Loire and Dordogne are justly popular, but provided you avoid the larger cities all of France is ideal for a tour.
