Photos from France 2008

In January 2008 I saddled up my motorcycle 'Hayley' in London and went for a long ride (3300 miles in all). We caught the ferry to France and traveled south to Spain, from Spain to Andorra, then back to France, then Monaco, then to Switzerland via Italy, and finally home via France again. These are the photos from the France portions of the journey.
