Video Synopsis

Paris can feel like a concrete jungle, wth tourists everywhere. Our family needed some space so we left the crowds for the country.

Just two hours south of Paris is a very special place tucked away behind trees and fields called the Anjou Bike Center, a small bed and breakfast run by Claude and his wife Jacquline. Come along as we explore the backroads of France.

Lara is the co-founder of Randomlink Interactive Inc. She is equally at home in front of the camera and on the road. As a child, she acted in a weekly television series, and regularly accompanied her tour host/organizer mother on international travels. Travel is in her blood, and Hit the Road builds on her previous travels with her daughter Zoe – including three months they spent travelling together across Africa when Zoe was six years old. Hit the Road has been up for two Webbies with previous episodes, “The Lost Cowgirl” and “Fishing for Time.”
