The above combined with;

Www.cycle.travel

Will see you right. These two have been the basis of our last 2x2week french tours

france is predominantly very rural. ploy a route from A to B using the smallest roads possible. and it will be very scenic, through great villages, with ace little cafe's and bars.

can I come?

Need to be in les mans in june.

Assuming this is for a well-known race, are you going to be able to carry enough beer on the bikes?

Michelin road maps (yellow, Local, 1:150k) denote "Parcours pittoresque" with a green band along the road. Linking up off-road (voie verte) routes with "pittoresque" minor roads is a successful approach.

Map No. 310 (Mayenne, Orne Sarthe for Le Mans)

Spend some time on RWGPS and look at Streetview to determine what the roads are like.
