Re: Getting back from Paris

Paris to Dieppe. First you take a train “Intercity” Paris (Saint Lazare station) Rouen, where there are places for bikes without any reservation, them you change in Rouen station where you take a “TER” to Dieppe, where there are free places for bikes.

Re: Route planning app?

Geoportail is a good advice, you have also, http://www.openrunner.com/
Then choose IGN maps, draws your tour and then it gives you the total height of your tour.

Re: Brest to Presqu'ile de Crozon ferry, Brittany

To help you I’ve phoned « Le Brestoâ »…fortunately my French is not so bad. They accept bikes for 4 €, but if you are 12, they prefer to have a reservation to reserve the places for the bikes. Bernard

Re: French (FFCT) Cycling Licence medical requirement

Hello, I’m individual member of FFCT, (not in a club), but I confirm, the first time (first year) you are obliged to give ‘un certificat médical’ which say you have no contraindication to practise cyclotourisme.
I think 'stress test' equal 'test à l'effort'.
I’ve contacted the responsible of the licence (Ms L. Blondeau)
http://www.ffct.org/licence/img/affiliation_mi.pdf
who confirms ‘Le test à l’effort’ is not asked, it is only recommended, if you choose the must of the insurance ‘Grand braquet’.
See the different proposal.

Re: Cycling into Paris.

I think, perhaps I’m the guy « Bernard ». Don’t hesitate to contact me, I’ve an itinerary from Dieppe (Pays de Bray) to Paris only on little roads, I avoid completely main road, because I consider it’s ‘suicidal’ to use the main road in France.

Re: french end to end

I think the furthest « Diagonale » in France is Brest – Menton 1350 km.
For more information have a look on (sorry the website is in French) “L’Amicale des Diagonalistes” a sort of Club of fan of diagonales.

Re: cycling across paris? (gare du nord to gare d'austerlitz)

Via Michelin says 22 minutes.

See the detail on the map.

http://www.viamichelin.fr/web/Itinerair ... eConso=5.6

If you can, avoid cycling 17h 18h, before 10h in the morning it’s the best.
