              Piazza di Siena and its typical scallop-shell shape.
                 Day 3: off to Firenze for a tour of the city.
                 On day 4, we drove through the Montalcino region, which
              specializes in the great wines of Tuscany, including 'Brunello
              di Montalcino'.
                 On the 5th and final day, we left the "Il Mulino" hotel and
              visited  Lucca,  before  dropping  off  our  bikes  in  Pisa  and
              taking the plane back to Gosselies.

              In 2006, along with 3 friends 138 , we decided to spend a few
              days in the Périgord region. From May 24 to 31, we set off on
              a 7-day run.
              We had booked the villa "La Truffière", with hotel service,

              part  of  the  Relais  &  Château  "Hôtel  du  Centenaire".  Our
              route took us through Champagne, Auvergne-Limousin and
              Périgord. We passed through various towns before arriving
              at our villa in Les Eyzies-de-Tayac.
              We  enjoyed  some  lovely  walks  and  visited  the  beautiful
              villages of Sarlat and Rocamadour.

              in the Périgord, we organized a trip to Rome. Our route took
              us  through  the  Jura,  the  mountains  between  France  and
              Switzerland, and along the Swiss lakes. In Italy, we met up
