Villè, France

A hot day of cycling brought us through the rout de vin (white wine area of the Alsace region of France) We continued to be awed by the beautiful steeples appearing over the vineyards as we approached every village. We climbed to Chateau de Koenigsbourg and had a magnificent view of the valley bellow. Along descent from the chateau and some more riding along vineyard brought us to Tabitha and Yannick’s house in Villé, France. Yannick’s dad (André Zimmermann)was a famous Tour de France rider in the 60’s and helped teammate Jacques Anquetil (5 time tour winner). It was motivating to here about Tabitha (France triathlon national champion for 20-25 age group) and Yannick’s passion for travel and adventure. The fed us a delicious typical French meal with an organic salad from the neighboring farmer’s garden. We had a great sleep in the house they are remodeling that has a scenic view over the valley de Villé. 69 miles / 3000 ft.Leia mais
