Mid-April. Winter drags on in Quebec… While we’re not quite sure what to do here, with winter sports over and the warm weather slow to arrive, why not explore the beautiful roads of Southern France by motorcycle? That’s what I’ve been doing for several years now, accompanying motorcyclists from Quebec.

There are roads that stimulate the imagination of motorcyclists, and many have heard of the famous Tail of the Dragon, a 318-curve stretch of Highway 129 on the border between Tennessee and North Carolina in the United States. But did you know that Ontario also has a Route 129 renowned for its 200 km of twists and turns? Fully paved since 1983, it’s the southern part of the route that offers the most curves.
