Hi Wol,
well done lad, pedalling through that channel tunnel must have been a bugger!
Don't forget, it's Lafionas or "Bust" so when the road forks for St Tropez, keep left,

Great to hear that you have reached the other side safely and that you are drinking gallons of water!
Hope that you aren't suffering from saddle soreness.
Raining today in the UK hope that it's not sur le continent.
Lots of love
