Some people may have the impression that I went to France to ride PBP.
In fact the main purpose of the trip was to gather photos for this thread.
For starters here's the bridge over the Sarthe at Fresnay-sur-Sarthe. The PBP route passes through this town, but you don't get to see its best bits. I had ridden through it eight times before this trip and never realised what a gem it is.

From the opposite bank, showing the old mill
And again in the evening sunshine
