Hi,

I would like to know if there are any websites giving route map for people travelling by scooter / motor bike. Like RATP for train & bus are there any such sites for bikers?

Thanks in advance for the help.

Wow

I was about to reply to another discussion but then I saw this

you have asked at the right time.
I happen to have a whole bunch of paper maps I got fr the Government in France
I sent for them years ago intending to bicycle around the entire country some time in my life.
from village to village--like maybe 20 miles a day and then be spontaneous enough to stop in any town or village that hits my fancy and stay as long as I want befor emoving on
none of those pre arranged tours.
So here it is:

you write to IGB
institute geographique national
you can simply google it
maybe by now you can get them on line
yes, here it is www.ign.fr
Some bike touring companies charge a small fortune to help you tour on a bicycle
but I feel if I find b&b's for myself and have these maps I can do it on my own
however, if you are interested in joining my little adventure let me know
I will be beginning the journey this year in April and the first place I go is a town called Sarthe.
From there I will bicycle out and I might be able to stay the whole year.
I am a woman in my fifties--for your information
and I am fun I can make jokes and also I am very spiritual
part of my journey will also be to some of the very ancient but active monastaries in that wonderful country of France
