I think so too. I could put up an entire post of just shutters in some of these towns.

2 years agoI do like the blue shutters of that part of France
2 years agoAngsty! The neologician is at work again, I see.
17-20 is about where I start minding, assuming normal conditions. When it gets up to around 25 though and I have to wrestle for control I don’t care for it so much.
Beautiful pictures, Scott!

2 years agoThanks for reminding us of this tour. The winds are daunting alright, but some of our favorite places in France are down here. We hope to see Fontfroide Abbey again when we come back through in autumn.

Snow in Paris in April? Amazing. rich reports that they may see snow down here in Limoux also. It’s really very cold here today.
And I was surprised to see this comment, because I didn’t know I’d published this post yet. It was still mostly incomplete, but is done now.
Sounds about right, but what really gets me is the strong gusts when you’re afraid you’ll be pushed into a car or over the edge down a cliff!
2 years agoWow! You had snow and wind! It looks like it shouldn’t last too much longer. I’ll bet you’ll be glad to head to Italy soon!
2 years agoI like the sound of those radar rear lights … a nice safety feature particularly when the wind is blowing. An ebike would also be handy in those winds but that probably didn’t cross your minds. Looks like a great trip!
2 years agoNo tramontane here in Paris but we did get snow, rain and a mix of both - along with bracing wind and highs about 36°F/2°C.
Any idea of how long the tramontane lasts? Hopefully things will settle down and you'll be on the road soon.
I love that the scenery provides a distraction from the angst-y winds.
This makes me wonder .. when one is riding a bicycle into the wind, at what speed does a pleasant breeze become angst-inducing wind?
A subjective thing! For me, it's probably 17mph.
What about youse?
Might be a speckled wood.
