    Gannay sur Loire to Paray la Monial

    June 25, 2017 in France ⋅ ⛅ 24 °C

    After 30km of rolling roads - the first real hills we've faced - we hit the tow path again and it was smooth sailing.
    At Bourbon-Lancy, we happened upon the local fresh marché and had the bright idea to buy some freshly cooked ham to put in our baguette for lunch. So we asked for 4 slices - well he saw us coming - they were the thickest slices I've ever seen and we walked away with 645gm of very nice ham. Hard to believe that we actually managed to squash most of it into one baguette.
    It was great to roll into Paray la Monial. We checked out the park for a small 2nd lunch (guess what of) and then enjoyed the town markets. A South American busker was playing the pan pipes, which we love, so we settled in with a panache to listen, before booking into our accommodation, which is right in the centre of this lovely, lively town.
    Many thanks to Knud and Erica for suggesting this top spot and the ride along the Canal De Centre.
