My sweetie and I are spending 2 weeks of our honeymoon in France next summer, most likely in July. We don't have tons of money and we want to stick to the southern area I think. We imagine ourselves renting a car, touring the country-side, staying in B&B's or other small places, visiting wineries. We'd like to rent bikes and do some in and out touring along the way, and definitely want to do parts of the TDF route, maybe even try climbing Alpe D'Huez (ok that's dh's dream, I may have to stop a few times ). We'd love to do a supported tour but can't afford it. SO... I'm looking for any advice from people who've been there, done that in the past few years. Is there a particular area you'd recommend? Can you rent bikes any place or would be want to rent them for a longer period and haul them with us? Any advice?
