Two best mates, two bikes and over 200 miles of beautiful French landscape. David Baddiel and Hugh Dennis, who've been friends for 40 years, pedal through France while getting up to mischief, exploring stunning local sights and having a good chat along the way. Gearing up for their longest holiday together, they begin in Arcachon - a beautiful seaside resort on the Atlantic - and head towards the grand city of Bordeaux. They discover the city's amazing Renaissance architecture, take in the stunning waterfront and sample delicious seafood in its 250-year-old market. Heading east, David and Hugh visit the Château Toulouse-Lautrec to see where the famous painter created some of his masterpieces. For the final leg, they explore the historic Garonne canal and tackle David's first hill of the trip to discover the incredible view over the whole Garonne River valley.

Two best mates, two bikes and over 200 miles of beautiful French landscape. David Baddiel and Hugh Dennis, who've been friends for 40 years, pedal through France while getting up to mischief, exploring stunning local sights and having a good old chat along the way. This time, David's cycling mettle - and his dodgy knee - are put to the test as he and Hugh travel along the Canal du Midi and tackle some of the most challenging parts of the route so far. Along the way, Hugh and David visit an artisanal dye expert who reveals the ancient magic behind turning things blue. At the Seuil de Naurouze, they gatecrash an unusual local fiesta, before dining in Castelnaudary - the cassoulet capital of the world - where Hugh can sample his favourite French dish. This leg of the journey culminates at the beautifully preserved medieval citadel of Carcassonne, where Hugh and David uncover its fascinating history and finally take a breather.
