Who doesn’t like a good podcast? And who wouldn’t relish the idea of being a guest on their favorite podcast?
I began listening to the Join Us in France podcast a few years ago to quench my thirst for everything French. The show is hosted by Annie Sargent, a French native who as described on her website lived in the UK and the US for many years and is now back in France on a mission to rediscover her home country.
Annie’s podcast is an exceptional resource for anyone interested in the French culture and way of life. She explores various aspects of French living while offering practical travel tips and insights into French history, food, and wine. She also invites interesting guests and listeners to share their own experiences and perspectives on all things French.
If you’ve followed my journey, you’ll know in 2022 my husband and I along with two dear friends rode our bikes 2100 miles from Amsterdam in the Netherlands to Athens, Greece in 52 days. There was no tour group or guide, it was just the four of us on our own unsupported bike trip through Europe.
What some of you might not know is that in 2023, for 22 days, my husband and I ventured back onto the open road. Our journey once again began in Amsterdam where we cycled to Rochefort, France just south of La Rochelle. Averaging 50 miles a day we covered just over 1100 miles. There was no tour group or guide, and this time it was just the two of us. It was time to test ourselves on the open road.
We hope you enjoy this little look inside our self-guided cycling adventure.
Our sincere thanks to Annie for her time and interest as well as her professional recording and interviewing skills. It was so much fun to be on your show and share our cycling adventure across France.
