Cycling in France
On the bicycle camping equipment
For a walk or cycle tour you take exactly the same stuff with it. Therefore you can actually might as well buy your equipment in a shop specializing in hiking tours.
The only thing is often that you, after a day of cycling, place would take on an easy chair. Many campsites in France are not yet really responded to the need of the cycling holiday maker. Comfortable chairs and tables often lack. To solve this problem, you can bring inflatable stool or a luxuriously comfortable chair create yourself inflatable mattress that is a snap to change of bed to seat cushion with backrest. This weighs not much and takes up less space.
