Morey-Saint-Denis - 11 June 2019

Morey-Saint-Denis - 11 June 2019

Not so much rain today. Kay drove to Nuits Saint Georges and we had a wander into town, very quiet. The tourist information recommended various wine tasting and other attractions. We plumped for le Cassisium which was walking distance from the van. Good tour and tasting of everything cassis. Th

Saint-Jean-de-Losne - 10 June 2019

Rain all night again but it stopped enough for us to complete another 25 minute run. Forecast was for rain all day so we decided on laundry and books.

Dole - 9 June 2019

We decided to head in a south westerly direction and plumped on Dole. Kay drove for about 4 hours only to find that there was a fair set up in our preferred parking spot close to the town centre. We’re now further out in a bit of a Moho commune as there’s nowhere else to park. Disappointed!

Near Belfort Day 2 - 8 June 2019

Active day today, 25 minute run then a ride around the lakes that are close to us. Lunch and a ride into Belfort. We didn’t realise there is a 5 day music festival going on. Spent a few hours walking around seeing the citadel, the lion and some of the music acts.

Thann - 6 June 2019

Another 25 minute run done! Kay drove up into the hills to Le Monument National du Hartmannswillerkopf where the French and the Germans fought over this hill top for the whole of WW1, just seems pointless. Good walk for 2 1/2 hours through the French and German trenches and should have given us fa

Hartmannswiller - 5 June 2019

Tintin drove up into the hills to Murbach to have a look at the Abbey there. Looked very strange as most of it was missing and only the renovated towers remained. Drove on to an aire at Hartmannswiller and read books in the shade of a convenient tree, too hot for cycling.
