According to Rhys Martin, president of the Oklahoma Route 66 Association, a lot of the buzz can be attributed to Pixar’s 2006 movie Cars. Route 66 was officially decommissioned in 1985, but it has seen a revival in the last few decades. One of the Historic Route 66 “Begin” signs located along East Adams Street in Chicago, Illinois. But as more and more sections of the original route were bypassed by interstate, other towns and destinations weren’t so lucky, and fell into disrepair or disappeared entirely. Roadside attractions, diners, and motels sprang up along the route, many of which are still standing today. The original road was established in 1926, and during its mid-century heyday, small towns went all in on capturing the tourism that came along with the highway’s rise in popularity. To be honest, we’d always suggest taking a map with the routes marked on it, even if you do use a sat nav.Stretching 2,448 miles (3,940 kilometers) from Chicago in the east to Santa Monica in the west, Route 66 crosses through eight states and offers a near-perfect snapshot of the U.S.-from bustling cities to crumbling ghost towns. Then make your own road book of directions or mark the routes on a map, to make sure you get to enjoy these tours. Open the preview links – or download the GPX files and open them in MyRouteApp – to see the roads we use. You can still use our website to help you ride the routes. You can then resave it to your computer as an ITN file, which older TomToms will process happily.

If you have an older TomTom, it’s worth going to the MyRouteApp website – TomTom’s new planning platform – and uploading the GPX file. If you have a TomTom Rider, you can drag and drop the route straight onto the unit’s SD card – it will process the GPX file just fine.

Then select the “Send to Device” option in the top-left corner of the screen to install the route in your sat nav. Occasionally, the route will appear as straight lines – don’t panic! Double-click the route to open it and select the “Recalculate” option to make it snap to the roads. You need your sat nav connected to the computer, as Basecamp uses its maps.

If you have a Garmin or BMW sat nav, we recommend using Garmin’s free Basecamp software to open the route: go to its File menu and select “import”.

Meanwhile, enjoy using this Guide to explore France and have a great tour. France is a huge country with so much to see and so many great roads that there’s still scope to discover marvelous and unexpected places – so if you spot something great or find a brilliant road we haven’t mentioned, let us know. We’ve also given recommendations for things to see and do in each region, for those who don’t want to spend every minute of every day in the saddle.

So this latest edition of the Guide to France contains 90 suggested day trips, with dozens of cross-country routes, plus 16 complete tours. So this guide builds on the first, with all those extra suggestions added in. We continued asking French riders for their tips on where to ride – and we continued exploring on our own.

Every time someone told us, “You should have gone to…” or, “You should have ridden…”, we made a note of it. Which is where this second Guide to France comes in. It contained 25 routes for day trips, four regional tours plus some suggested ways to get across the largest country in western Europe – as well as one huge two-week tour that roughly retraced the route we’d taken when doing the ride to illustrate the guide. When we produced our first motorcycle touring guide to France, way back in 2013, we were pretty pleased with the result. The RiDE motorcycle touring Guide to FRANCE
