THE TEXT:
" Aix les Bains had probably grown a fair bit
since 1953 - this tourist resort offered all kinds
of modern sports - even cycling off a piste
and into the lake! The roads on from here
are straight and busy and probably follow
the same route as my dad's - not a motorway
in sight. Most French drivers are very
considerate of bikers. The Hotel we hoped
to sleep at was now flats so we stayed
at a concrete St Julien "
