Here’s our rough route:
Stage 1: Bath to Portsmouth
Stage 2: St. Malo to Angers on the Loire river
Stage3: Up the Loire to Amboise (or whenever we get bored of Chateaus)
Stage 4: Amboise to La Rochelle on the Atlantic coast
Stage 5: Down the coast to Bordeaux
Stage 6: Through the wine country to Toulouse
Stage 7: Down to Carcassonne, then over the Pyrenees to Barcelona
Simples!
Avoiding Potholes 
A great start guys. Sleep well tonight……x

Have fun 🙂 It looks like it should be a pretty good route.
When you’ll be along the Loire, it’ll be easy to ditch the maps as the Loire à Vélo (Euro Velo 6 is very well marked). Same goes for the Atlantic Coast. The Vélodyssée (Euro Velo 1) is pretty well marked (although it can be a bit patchy in cities).

Thanks Allysse. We’re looking forward to all the quiet and scenic French cycle tracks.
