Diary 1 2 3

 The plan is not to see everything interesting in France, only to see a few personal favourites. The main propose is just to enjoy the ride, and experience France along the road. I will arrival from Belgium the first time, and after having seen some of Andorra, Spain and Portugal, I will be back for the southern part. Another de-tour bring me around Monaco.
