[Yak] August 08 bike tour - Suggestions?

[Michael Block]

the most pleasant surprise on our last cycle tour in Europe was  
cycling along the Meuse river from Charleville in France to Dinant in  
Belgium. We only wish that we had time to have done the whole river -  
much more interesting than the Danube, although I don't know that  
there are any organised tours. There is a cycle path along almost all  
of the route that we did, and I believe that it has/will be extended  
all the way to the North Sea. There was good food, good accommodation,  
lots of history and culture too.
