Visiting Southern France in Winter, Episode 148
Join Us in France Travel Podcast My guest today is Christine Hegerty from Australia, and she joins me today to talk about visiting Southern France in winter. They started their trip in Nice and exited via the Basque Country, so they really went all the way across.
What is it like in France in the winter? Are the weather conditions good enough for touring? Aren't most attractions closed? Christine answers all my questions and brings a lot of zest and astute observations about France in the winter.
Places Mentioned in this Episode: Nice, Toulouse, Aix-en-Provence, Marseille, Nîmes, Pont du Gard, Uzès, Montpellier, Carcassonne, Mirepoix, Forges de Pyrène, Grotte de Niaux, Foix, Camon (09), Rennes-le-Château, Carla-Bayle, Grotte du Mas d'Asil, Toulouse, Albi and the Toulouse-Lautrec Museum, Cordes-sur-Ciel, Moissac, Bordeaux, San-Sebastian, New Caledonia
Episode Highlights with Timestamps [7'15] Why did you choose to come to France in the winter? [8'50] What sort of weather did you encounter?

Elegant Maison de Maitre for sale in the Dordogne
An historic Maison de Maitre in the heart of a pretty village, oozing elegance and style.
This grand property – originally built as a Consulate for Napoleon in 1792 – has an immaculate garden and pool, and even a second house.
There is plenty of scope for further development, and this charming family home would make a superb boutique hotel or wedding venue.
The principle house has an impressive entrance hall with timber paneling and a tiled floor. This leads directly to the rear garden, and side doors open to the reception rooms. The high ceilings have substantial figured oak beams and give the house a spacious and airy feel.
The kitchen was designed by celebrated French film-set designer Jean-Michel Simonet and features polished granite worktops and a Godin range oven.
The lounge/dining room has windows to the front and rear and has a stone fireplace with an original 18th century iron fire-back.
A billiards room with an enameled wood-burner can be used as bedroom six.
A stone staircase leads to five bright and airy bedrooms, again with high ceilings and large windows. Most rooms have striking wall-paper dating from the 50s/60s.
A timber staircase leads to a vast attic area, which has been recently renovated, insulated and boarded and could provide space for substantial accommodation.
A second house, with a separate entrance, needs refurbishment – but has two bedrooms and a wonderful timber staircase marked with the carpenter’s name in 1788.
The pretty garden – around 800m2 – is set to lawn with shrubs, a vegetable patch and swimming pool (4.5 x 8.4m).
Outbuildings include a former Coach porch and large garage – sufficient for at least 8 cars.
There is also a former wine-making ‘Chai’, and an elevated area overlooking the pool with a terrace – great as a studio or apartment. Underneath the house there is a wine cellar.
This expansive property has been at the heart of village life for over 200 years and has been expanded and improved by its former owners.
There is a butcher’s shop opposite and bakeries, bars and restaurants are all a few metres away.
The village of St Aulaye, on the border of the Dordogne and Charente areas, is popular with tourists and attractions include a cinema and a river-beach with bathing area and bar – great for families!
Bergerac airport is around 1 hour 10 minutes away, and Bordeaux airport around 1 hour 35 minutes away.
Reading to Paris - June 2013
In May of 2013, my brother, Luke, and I had the idea to cycle to Paris from our home in Reading, UK. The small ball of an idea soon snowballed into the purchase of new bikes and over £100 worth of equipment, not to mention the investment in a GoPro camera to capture the journey.
We set off blissfully unaware of what lay ahead. From our driveway, the 422 kilometre ride was still hidden behind the familiarity of Reading. The trip had the illusion of neve really beginning, as I had been cycling around the area to warm myself up to the challenge, and so each extra hour of cycling for those first few days seemed to be just more preparations. Not to mention that it took a few days to get out of the country.
Our journey took us to Newhaven, and across the channel to Dieppe, where an old railway that used to connect Forges-les-Eaux with the coast has been converted into a 59 kilometre stretch of flat, smooth cycle path. After that easy ride, we entered the countryside of France for the last few days on the way into Paris, tumbling down hills and struggling back up others.
Once in Paris, we stayed near the centre and spent the days avoiding most of the tourist attractions, cycling instead on aimless trips through the tight, busy roads and exploring the bustle of Paris. We then caught a train North-West to Rouen and cycled back to the coast, Dieppe, from there. Again, we were blessed with a converted railway that took us on an easy downhill path for the last few hours of France.
Back in the UK, we struggled with the faff of late-night trains, attempting to get back to Reading the quick and easy way, but instead taking a detour by bike across central London to catch a train back from Paddington. It was a thoroughly rewarding trip, and much of the cycling let us fall into a trance, a meditation of constant pedalling through endless green and yellow fields. It has instilled in me a love for cycling and I would love to set off on another, perhaps more ambitious, trip again soon.
