- Opt for minimalist luggage (backpack) and take the essentials, especially if you combine train and bike.
- Download useful apps to track train schedules like SNCF Connect, plan your stops and check the availability of local services.
Enjoy each village, slow down, savor local products, and let yourself be surprised by the diversity of accessible activities... all this, without depending on the car.
