A Tour de France – Montgeron appeared first on The Land of Desire.

Beginning in the tiny village of Montgeron, then passing through Lyon, Marseille, Toulouse, Bordeaux, Nantes and finally returning to Paris, we'll be eating, drinking and exploring our way through the nation. On y va! SHOW NOTES: http://www.thelandofdesire.com/2017/10/12/tour-de-france-montgeron/
