    I'm lucky enough to spend around a third of the year in southwest France (the departement of the Lot) and this is perfect riding country for me. Very little traffic, on some rides I can go for 30 minutes or so and not see a car. Road surfaces quite acceptable, not plush but far better than the UK. Generally polite driving. Beautiful countryside up on the limestone Parc Causses du Quercy. Lots of valleys and therefore lots of climbs, and usually plenty of sun to get a good sweat up. Back there again in 2 weeks. :D
