We're going to be on holiday in France over the Christmas period, and I'd like to plan a few runs in the area in which we are staying. What's the best app or site to use for finding trails and mostly off-road runs in France? I live in Cornwall and primarily use footpaths/bridleways and the SW coast path for my runs.

I will try and keep it short. Basically about a month ago had pain on lateral side of left knee that felt sharp to the point where I had to take two weeks off. Pain subsided so went back to it only to pull up short half a mile on first run back with clicking/snapping feeling in same spot mid run.
