By noon I had only completed 50 km, lots of stop signs going through the many villages on the 344. After getting twisted around on the route verte this morning and not able to find a decent map, I abandoned the path and stuck to the two secondary highways, 344 and 138. The route verte cuts on and off both these highways, I just didn't follow the diversions.
Once on the 138 I made good time for about 50 km until the wind shifted, the last 30 k was a push.
Both highways follow the river which is lined with beautiful homes, from large estates to small stone cottages, it was very interesting, I even picked up some new building envelope details.
Travelling for 6 weeks and always being in the middle of nowhere, reststops have never been an issue. Travelling through residential neighbourhoods for hours on end requires better rest stop planning.
