In Munich, he changes to the ICE train \u2013 thanks to clever handling (saddle folded in, pedal removed), the bike fits in the luggage compartments there as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:40px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text is-stacked-on-mobile\"><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"766\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/cyclebee.dev3.codemiq.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/frankreichmitdemzugtreppenschleppen-766x1024.jpg\" alt=\"In der einen Hand das Faltrad, in der anderen der Koffer.

After a short stop at the station restaurant, he continues his journey towards France.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:40px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>A technical defect forces a change of train. Despite vague announcements and a platform change, Michael keeps his cool, finds a safe place for his bike, and even manages to snag a free seat in the dining car. He arrives in Paris somewhat late. The ride across the city to Austerlitz station proves challenging: narrow, bumpy bike paths and his hand on his suitcase demand attention and skill.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The next surprise awaited on the SNCF night train: the folding bike didn&#039;t fit under the bed. After a brief interlude in the aisle, a creative solution was found: an empty bed to use as a storage space. Only later did Michael discover the note on his German-language ticket: folding bikes can be taken on board free of charge. <strong>provided they are packaged and labelled<\/strong>. The official rule: A folding bike smaller than 130 x 90 cm is considered hand luggage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Despite minor inconveniences, the night passes pleasantly. The compartment is equipped with a blanket, water bottle, reading light, power outlet, and Wi-Fi. Even though the restrooms open late and announcements are made exclusively in French, orientation is manageable with the help of Google Maps. Right on time at 7 a.m., Michael reaches his destination station \u2013 on the wrong side, and without an elevator. One last time, he crosses a steep bridge with his bike and luggage before the journey is almost over.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:60px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"HomeExchange\">Home Exchange: Save costs with charm<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>After the final effort at the train station, Michael takes his folding bike a few kilometers along quiet country roads to the holiday home. The morning sun shines over the scene, the roads are empty \u2013 a gentle start to the adventure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The house: a detached bungalow in the 1960s style, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.homeexchange.com\/de\">mediated via the Home Exchange platform.<\/a> Michael is allowed to stay here free of charge for almost three weeks, including a fully equipped kitchen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Homemade delicacies await as a welcome: p\u00e2t\u00e9, civet de chevreuil (venison stew), and a fruity aperitif. Anyone interested in a similar travel experience should take a closer look at Home Exchange \u2013 the combination of authentic living, cultural exchange, and savings on accommodation costs makes it an exciting alternative to traditional lodging.\u201c<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:60px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"Touren\">A variety of tours by bicycle and train in France: between the Atlantic, the Pyrenees and cultural sites<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>As soon as he arrived, Michael&#039;s real adventure began: discovering southwest France on two wheels. His starting point was a bungalow near Saint Vincent de Tyrosse \u2013 ideally situated between forests, coast, rivers, and cultural gems. Sometimes he set off directly, sometimes he combined train and bike \u2013 which was always possible thanks to his folding bike.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:40px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"courseLandaise\">Adventurous journey to the Course Landaise<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Michael planned an afternoon drive to the traditional Course Landaise in Tercis-les-Bains.

For the return journey, he took the train \u2013 but with a minor booking mishap: the online ticket had been accidentally booked for the wrong day, so he had to book again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On his way home, Michael stopped at a farm shop where he bought fresh asparagus and kiwis directly from the farm \u2013 at reasonable prices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:40px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"638\" src=\"https:\/\/cyclebee.dev3.codemiq.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/frankreichmitdemzugwasserschloss-e1753778410262-1024x638.jpg\" alt=\"Wasserschloss Ch\u00e2teau des duc Montr\u00e9al\" class=\"wp-image-5668\" style=\"aspect-ratio:16\/9;object-fit:cover\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cyclebee.dev3.codemiq.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/frankreichmitdemzugwasserschloss-e1753778410262-1024x638.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cyclebee.dev3.codemiq.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/frankreichmitdemzugwasserschloss-e1753778410262-300x187.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cyclebee.dev3.codemiq.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/frankreichmitdemzugwasserschloss-e1753778410262-768x478.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cyclebee.dev3.codemiq.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/frankreichmitdemzugwasserschloss-e1753778410262-1536x957.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/cyclebee.dev3.codemiq.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/frankreichmitdemzugwasserschloss-e1753778410262-2048x1276.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Ch\u00e2teau des duc Montr\u00e9al moated castle<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:40px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"kulturtour\">Cultural tour to the Romanesque villages &amp; churches<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The interior of the country also offered surprises.

Michael set off early in the morning at 7:15 a.m. to reach the boat landing near Pichelebe, almost 45 km away, in good time. The route was virtually traffic-free, well-paved, and mostly shaded \u2013 thanks to old railway lines between Saint Vincent, Soustons, and L\u00e9on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Upon arrival, a surprise awaited: the morning tour had been cancelled due to a fallen tree. Instead of getting frustrated, Michael opted for a long walk along the river \u2013 through primeval forest, cork oak groves, dunes, and reed beds to the sea. There, a large number of surfers were enjoying themselves on a vast, wide beach where the Atlantic waves were crashing. A croissant provided sustenance, followed later by Vietnamese iced coffee with condensed milk and ice cubes.<em> (Michael thought ice cream) <\/em>And a toast with lobster rounded off the waiting time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The boat tour did eventually take place in the afternoon. Michael describes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>\u201cFirst, we travel upstream towards the lake through dense, primeval forest, with giant ferns, ancient trees (including exotic species planted in the 19th century), and all sorts of wildlife. Shortly before reaching the lake, we turn around and drift downstream with the current until just before the mouth of the river (where there are small rapids to prevent lake water from entering the river). The boatman tells us a great deal about nature and history, such as how, under Napoleon (III?), the dunes were artificially raised to protect the land from storm surges. The vast lakes and surrounding marshland were drained, reclaimed, and largely reforested.\u201e<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:40px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"pyren\u00e4en\">By train to the French Pyrenees \u2013 this time without a bike<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Even without a bicycle, a trip to the Pyrenees was worthwhile. On a cloudy morning, Michael set off by train and bus for Mount Le Rhune, located near the Basque coast. The weather forecast promised sunshine from early afternoon onward \u2013 reason enough for an ambitious day trip. For just \u20ac8.30, the train took him to picturesque Saint-Jean-de-Luz, where he bridged the waiting time for the bus with a stroll through the international market. Here, Basque tradition meets modern diversity \u2013 a perfect place for a first coffee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We continued our journey by bus (round trip \u20ac2.80) up to the Col de Saint Ignacio, where the clouds slowly began to clear. Enjoying an espresso (\u20ac1.50) with a view, we noticed that English was being spoken here again without any fuss. A lovingly restored, 100-year-old cog railway leads to the summit of Le Rhune (round trip \u20ac25.50). However, upon arrival, the summit was completely shrouded in clouds, offering zero visibility. Instead of a panoramic view, we spent an hour listening to tea and a tour guide in the mountain hut at the top.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Back in the valley, there was time for another stroll through Saint-Jean-de-Luz. The town, with its bakeries, ice cream parlors, and maritime flair, has a charm all its own. Michael treated himself to an ice cream for \u20ac1.60 and bought bread at a bakery with countless baguette varieties (&quot;integrale&quot; here means &quot;complete&quot;).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<div style=\"height:40px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"vogelschutzgebiet\">Excursion to the Marais d&#039;Orx bird sanctuary<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The following day, an early start took place in the Marais d&#039;Orx bird sanctuary. The lake dates back to Napoleon&#039;s time when this area was slated for drainage for agricultural use. However, the pumping out of the water was not entirely successful, and so the area was placed under protection, as it serves as a resting place for countless birds. There, Michael participated in a guided tour where bird calls were transmitted via parabolic microphone into headphones \u2013 a perfect opportunity to hear the <a href=\"https:\/\/birdnet.cornell.edu\/\">BirdNET app<\/a> to test. Michael&#039;s test result: &quot;In fact, all the analysis results agreed.&quot;\u201c<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<div style=\"height:40px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"baskenland\">Crossing the French-Spanish border by train: Basque Country &amp; Basque Corniche<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>For one of his last major tours, Michael chose a cross-border route from France to Spain and back. The day began with a train ride to Hendaye (a border town with Spain), but it quickly became apparent on the platform that the French railway (SNCF) doesn&#039;t always offer intuitive navigation. There are often no displays for individual trains or their directions, neither on the platform nor on the train itself. Nevertheless, he managed to board, and Michael was able to travel to the border town with his bicycle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>From there, he cycled across the border to Irun and on to Hondarribia. There he left his bike to tackle the climb towards Jaizkibel on foot. He happened to witness a cycling race, in which first convoy vehicles and then the leading group crossed the closed road. He had enough time to reach just below the summit before turning back. The panoramic views in the sunny weather and the grazing horses on the alpine pastures nevertheless created a truly magical Pyrenean atmosphere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Back in Irun, the traffic-calmed town center was impressive: cyclists have priority on wide streets. However, the city expressway lacked safe cycle lanes, and the EuroVelo 1 route was poorly signposted. Michael almost missed a purpose-built cycle bridge. The exit through Hendaye was also confusing and not always clearly signposted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The route then led back north along the Corniche Basque. It offered spectacular views of the Atlantic, but was challenging with its constant ups and downs and some steep sections. The cycle path ended abruptly at Domaine Abbadia, and the journey continued along a busy coastal road.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The entrance to Ciboure and onward to Saint-Jean-de-Luz was once again poorly marked. In the town itself, Michael was directed onto a busy pedestrian walkway along the beach. Particularly in the northern part, there were poorly maintained, bumpy paths that ended at a confusing parking lot entrance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It wasn&#039;t until Gu\u00e9thary and Bidart that things became more pleasant again. Michael fortified himself with a large cappuccino and a baba au rhum before continuing along the coastal promenade through elegant Biarritz and on to Bayonne. There he treated himself to a short stroll through the beautiful medieval old town before taking the train back to Saint-Vincent-de-Tyrosse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tip: This tour offers stunning scenery but requires good preparation, especially for navigation. Offline maps and a watchful eye on local cycle path markings are essential.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<div style=\"height:60px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-28f84493 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"756\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/cyclebee.dev3.codemiq.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/frankreichmitdemzugfaltradimintercitynuit-756x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Faltrad in Tasche im Intercity Nuit\" class=\"wp-image-5676\" style=\"aspect-ratio:2\/3;object-fit:cover\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cyclebee.dev3.codemiq.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/frankreichmitdemzugfaltradimintercitynuit-756x1024.jpg 756w, https:\/\/cyclebee.dev3.codemiq.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/frankreichmitdemzugfaltradimintercitynuit-221x300.jpg 221w, https:\/\/cyclebee.dev3.codemiq.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/frankreichmitdemzugfaltradimintercitynuit-768x1040.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cyclebee.dev3.codemiq.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/frankreichmitdemzugfaltradimintercitynuit-1134x1536.jpg 1134w, https:\/\/cyclebee.dev3.codemiq.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/frankreichmitdemzugfaltradimintercitynuit-1512x2048.jpg 1512w, https:\/\/cyclebee.dev3.codemiq.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/frankreichmitdemzugfaltradimintercitynuit-scaled.jpg 1890w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 756px) 100vw, 756px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">On the Intercity Night train, the folding bicycle must be packed and stored in the bicycle compartment.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"766\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/cyclebee.dev3.codemiq.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/frankreichmitdemzugfaltradimice-766x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Faltrad ohne H\u00fclle im ICE\" class=\"wp-image-5675\" style=\"aspect-ratio:2\/3;object-fit:cover\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cyclebee.dev3.codemiq.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/frankreichmitdemzugfaltradimice-766x1024.jpg 766w, https:\/\/cyclebee.dev3.codemiq.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/frankreichmitdemzugfaltradimice-224x300.jpg 224w, https:\/\/cyclebee.dev3.codemiq.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/frankreichmitdemzugfaltradimice-768x1027.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cyclebee.dev3.codemiq.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/frankreichmitdemzugfaltradimice-1149x1536.jpg 1149w, https:\/\/cyclebee.dev3.codemiq.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/frankreichmitdemzugfaltradimice-1532x2048.jpg 1532w, https:\/\/cyclebee.dev3.codemiq.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/frankreichmitdemzugfaltradimice-scaled.jpg 1915w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 766px) 100vw, 766px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">On the ICE<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:60px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"r\u00fcckreise\">Return journey from France by train \u2013 insights included<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The return journey was calmer, but no less challenging: This time the folding bike was properly packed in a bag and placed in the bicycle compartment, again by night train, again with a change in Paris \u2013 and once again having to lug the bike up and down stairs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Michael also noticed that many carriages on the Intercit\u00e9s de Nuit were marked with small bicycle symbols \u2013 a helpful detail he had missed on the outward journey.
