In Simiane-la-Rotonde, Alpes-de-Haute-Provence, France
I can send you a picture from where I live when I'm back home, I'm sure it'll make you feel better about your situation :)
Yeah that little ring road around the village was a pretty tough climb on the bike, haha.
Yeah sure, it's not like anyone uses their car to get from a to b inside that village, but for everything else people will use a car.
I was passing through another village where I spent holidays as a kid, cabrière d'aigues, all I remembered was the big pétanque square. Seeing it now three quarters of the space is a parking area. I don't know if I just remembered that wrong, but pretty sure there was no parking back then.

Oh man, sounds like you have quite some time on your hands, awesome. International train travel is a mess with a bike, probably makes sense to disassemble for that long of a trip then. Although you'd have time in advance to book something. There should be interesting "intercités de nuit" that would bring you from Paris to the border of Spain over night, I think both ends of Pyrenees, Basque country and catalunya. These trains should take full bikes. I hate the SNCF website though, so confusing and I never get to book a train that I'd like.
If you are interested in canaries at all, this is probably a good starting point for route ideas: https://granguanche.com/
It's been on my radar, but I usually have all my holidays used up come winter, this year is no exception.

Never heard about Emily in Paris, but yeah I would actually not recommend to go to Gordes, haha. Roussillon probably the same.
Session is ON! 💥
Actually quite sketchy, not exactly made for a long wheelbase, very much for bmx. One tight double bump made me shit my pants for a bit.
I guess you try to get somewhere sunny?
Off the top of my head, Sicily, Portugal and southern Spain with the option to go to Morocco, Canary islands, Cyprus. To have a bit longer days, probably Canaries make sense since it is so far south. Probably also has relatively cheap flights. Only time I have been to the Canaries I had shit weather, but I guess it should not be the case really.
This is a nice site to check for weather averages: https://weatherspark.com/
Cycled through there yesterday. Very tourisitc village, but it looks pretty great too.
I am using a fresh osmand install, and now I have this widget on the right showing the wrong altitude. Always about 50m too high. The bottom widget shows the correct altitude however, that is kinda weird. I have updated the app now, but same thing.
Using f-droid latest version, but this happened also with the one I had before (4.85). I am also using brouter plugin for navigation, maybe the correct altitude comes from there idk. The wrong one is also displayed when in the default profile with no brouter involved.
Anybody else seeing this phenomenon?
Oh and the "centre map" altitude doesn't seem to be working at all, but I don't need that anyway.
In Diois, France. So nice to wake up with the birds next to me again.
How do you cook your coffee when camping?
Passed by this amazing water wheel some time ago, just spinning along in this little river. Was such a nice find, i loved it.
I had posted this photo a while ago in the birding community, thought it would fit in well here too. The robin in the rain made me think of it 😁
Papa and the kids, four days ago, the first day they left the balcony
I thought they'd be gone by last weekend, but flight school apparently takes some time. Was awesome seeing their first excursions off of the balcony and onto the roof gutter. I was so happy to be there for it. And i have a video of them returning from their first little flight, haha. The older one seems now to go flying with papa, the smaller one - i think - with mama, at least they showed up together yesterday. The younger one still sleeps on my balcony. It has been alone there for the last two nights, first evening alone it seemed a bit worried. Maybe today it will find somewhere else to sleep, i think it may be two days younger than the other one.
This weekend i'll clean up the mess and barricade their nest spot so they don't keep breeding here. It was nice to have them but i kinda want the balcony back for myself, i was minimizing my balcony time so they could do their pigeon stuff in peace. Really caring parents, very nice to see.
