Langres and on to Rolampunt

We had a nice rest at the Langres Halte Nautique, we managed to go shopping on the Sunday but that was about it. Monday we rode, well I rode John walked most of the way, back up to the walled town to continue the ramparts walk that we started on Saturday. The walls are almost complete which is impressive in itself there are gates and towers about every 400m and the circuit is just under 3km long. I just love old french roof tops they are so random different slates, angles, windows, slopes would make an interesting patchwork I think. Well we saw the cathedral, quite austere on the inside but the exterior technicolor roof tiles were spectacular. Sadly most of the museums were closed because of Covid we would actually have liked to have been able to visit a couple because of the stunning buildings and grounds that they were in behind closed gates. Some very pretty streets to walk along real estate inside the walls was pricey so generally well cared for. From Langres we tackled 8 locks and a lifting bridge to reach Rolampont Halte Nautique with free electricity and water but although it took us 4hours we only travelled about 5miles! The reason we stopped here was to visit the Tufieres cascades, terraces of sedimentary rock covered with lichen and moss.Read more
