RouteXpert Review Bert Loorbach, the writer, is an enthusiastic motorcyclist himself and lived in France for a year and a half. During that time he devoted himself to mapping the unknown and beautiful roads of France especially for motorcyclists.
Hotels, campsites, places of interest, parking spaces and restaurants are listed as POIs.
During this ride, old culture and beautiful nature alternate. The route goes through a quieter part of the Périgord on perfect motorways. Surprises along the way are the suddenly looming castles and beautiful villages in a beautiful landscape. A number of castles are included as a route point.
We drive from Beaumont via Bouilliac to Monpazier (RP3), one of the most beautiful bastide villages in the Périgord. A glance at the map of the village is not at all reminiscent of a medieval village. Where you expect organically built settlement with narrow streets and winding alleys, tight lines and uniformity prevail in Monpazier, reminiscent of a Roman army site. This is a beautiful village to stop to stretch your legs.
After Monpazier we drive along beautiful winding roads through a green and hilly landscape after a short stop at the castle of Biron (RP4) to one of the highlights of this route the castle of Bonaguil (RP11).
We continue on a winding road along the River Thèze in the direction of Villefranche du Périgord and Belvès (RP18) where we stop for lunch. After lunch it is a short drive through the beautiful green hills to Beaumont.
The roads in this short tour are beautiful and relaxed to drive and there is plenty to see along the way, so this route deserves 4 stars.

This MRA route collection contains 25 beautiful motorcycle routes in different parts of France, such as the Ardennes, the Alsace, Vercors, the Drôme, the Ardèche, Cote d'Azure, Gorges du Verdon, the Ariège, the Dordogne and Brittany.
The routes have been carefully created by Bert Loorbach, who is an enthusiastic motorcyclist himself. He lived in France for a year and a half, during which time he devoted himself to mapping the unknown and beautiful back roads of France especially for motorcyclists.

I have taken over the routes in MRA and sometimes adjusted them slightly to make them even more interesting for the motorcyclist.

24 Magnificent trails in France
It is clear that France is one of the most beautiful and best touring countries. It offers an incredibly varied landscape with good roads and a pleasant climate. It is not for nothing that you see so many motorcyclists there. My previous collection of 25 routes in France (25 Magnificent routes in France) were based on the route descriptions from the Motortourgids France part 1 made by Bert Loorbach.
This collection of 24 routes comes from Motortourgids France part 2. In this collection, a difference has been made between approach routes and motorcycle tours in a certain area. The approach routes can also be used in combination with the routes from Motortourgids France part 1
The routes are sometimes slightly adjusted based on the tips that Bert Loorbach gives in his description, or because of another place to spend the night, or to reach the minimum length of 2 hours for the MRA Library. For each route, the review contains a more detailed description, including options to stay overnight or places of interest along the way, which are also indicated with a POI and if possible with a short description.
Two or more routes have been created for a number of areas, such as for Burgundy, Auvergne, The Alps, Tarn and Cévennes and Nord-Pas de Calais. These routes can be nicely combined in a multi-day trip.
