To be honest the cycling here is a bit of organised mess. You have to get the vibe of it as it was explained to me. Real problem starts when you want to get outside of Paris because it is so f*ing big, it is half day of riding through suburbs before you get out.
Bit more chill than in France, different style of signage (node network) and today ride in Brussels was lot easier than in Paris.
What is worse is that there is forbidden wild camping and they don’t have many campsites, first day I stayed on someone’s garden and then I had bit of long and short days of riding to get somewhere to camp.

Longer trips should probably be multimodal if you can no matter where you are in the world. How are the public transportation and bike shares?
I am bikepacking through Europe, I was in Spain, Portugal and now I am heading towards Belgium.
I didn’t used any bike share and no trains here either but it is used here all the time.
How has it been in Belgium? I usually hear horror stories over there regarding biking
