If you're in London, fancy walking or cycling to Paris? Or, of course, if your in France making the trip to England? It is proposed to build a cycle route linking Sussex to Paris in time for the 2012 Olympics.

writing in The Argus, reports that Sussex has signed up to an agreement with the French authorities to create the
