Travels with a Brompton in the Cévennes and Other Regions (Hardback)

If you’ve ever dreamed of exploring France on two wheels — or just love a good travel tale — Travels with a Brompton is your kind of adventure. This fun, wine‑soaked story follows an English couple and their trusty folding bikes as they spend nearly 30 years pedalling through France’s cols, lavender fields, vineyards, and historic war memorials.

It’s part travel guide, part laugh‑out‑loud memoir, and perfect whether you’re planning your own cycling trip or prefer to enjoy the journey from the comfort of your sofa. The author’s Brompton, affectionately named Modestine, even carries a literary legacy as a modern descendant of the donkey Robert Louis Stevenson rode through the Cévennes.

Expect sweaty climbs, glorious freewheeling, great wine, and plenty of charm.
