Cycling
You will always see the French in their lycra suits on the roads of Britanny! As the national sport they seem to be more tolerant of cyclists and we certainly have had no problems on our more sedate rides.
The house is in gently sloping countryside and there are many safe lanes where we cycle with the children without fear of traffic.
We have also used the VTT's (see walking) to explore further afield to great effect.
