      Day 16

      Et il continue de pleuvoir! ☔️

      September 26, 2022 in France ⋅ ☁️ 14 °C

      Drove to Dijon and picked up some smelly stuff for the loo and a SIM card (blooming Brexit and roaming restrictions!)
      Drove to the South of Dijon to a little France Passion stopover where they make Crème de Cassis! Yum! Hoping for a tasting in the morning as it just wouldn’t stop raining long enough for us to get to the wee shop!! Even Ronnie is willing it to stop…..😜
      Thank goodness for the new sim card and a couple of episodes of Lucifer before an early night!      Read more

      an der schönen Saône....

      November 20, 2023 in France ⋅ ⛅ 10 °C

      wir freuen uns ,dass jetzt schon von euch lieben Leuten uns so viele folgen und an der Reise teilhaben wollen .....

      Nach einem gemütlichen Start in Vigy sind wir heute 300 km durchs französische Hinterland getuckert.

      Hier war in weiten Teilen des Landes, insbesondere im Departement "Lorraine"- Land unter. So viel Wasser in den Tälern und Hochwasser in den Ebenen .... puh, ein Amphibienfahrzeug wäre hier angebracht

      ...wir hatten uns einen Stellplatz an der Saône ausgeguckt...und gefunden. Stehen hier an der Vielle Saóne am Yachthafen , haben einen kleinen Spaziergang durchs Dorf gemacht, aber alles hat leider am Montag zu! hmmm , schade, aber morgen früh lockt die Boulangerie um die Ecke, mit frischen Croissants...jedenfalls eine schöne Landpartie

      ... und naturalment haben wir Elsässer kennen gelernt , die viel von der Heimat, vom Jagen und vom Housekeeping erzählt haben....eine interessante Variante, die Freizeit zu verbringen... kennt man, aber cool, wenn man das man live hört.      Read more

      1.Zwischenstop

      September 25, 2023 in France ⋅ 🌙 18 °C

      Den Halt in Polch sehe ich mal nicht als Zwischenstop, sondern als notwendiges Übel. Hier wurde, übrigens verhältnismäßig schnell, eine Dichtheitsprüfung gemacht und anschließend noch schnell zum Truck-Wash A61 (sehr zu empfehlen).

      Nun ja. Nach einigen hundert Kilometer und sehr viel Verkehr, teilweise Stau, sind wir jetzt kurz hinter Dijon auf einem Autobahnrastplatz gelandet.
      Eigentlich wollten wir noch 130km weiter fahren, zu einem Stellplatz, aber da es schon spät (19:30) ist, haben wir uns kurzentschlossen umentschieden.

      Jetzt lecker essen und morgen früh ausgeruht in die nächste Etappe...

      Erste Station Dijon

      June 23, 2023 in France ⋅ ⛅ 26 °C

      Durch den herrlichen Pfälzer Wald und den Elsass sind wir gut im Burgund gelandet! Mitten in der lebendigen Stadt Dijon gibt es gleich das erste Willkommensbier! Gegend, Gegend und nochmal Gegend begleitete uns heute den gesamten Tag! Die Kurven waren nicht so heftig, so dass wir uns gut einfahren konnten! Der Elsass, weg von der Weinstrasse macht schon einen ärmeren Eindruck! Ein paar tolle Villen/Häuser werden eingebettet von alten, halb zerfallenen kleinen Häuschen! Danach wieder Gegend um Gegend! Dafür ist Dijon um so lebendiger! Dijon ist selbst nach 23.00h sowas von lebendig- sehr jung und beeindruckend!Read more

      Day 6

      Two nights in Dijon

      September 26, 2023 in France ⋅ ☀️ 23 °C

      Our first central city stay. Dijon, the capital of the Burgundy region.
      Hotel des Ducs (The Dukes) has a different feel after the last two 'home' stays. It is efficient, clean and the breakfasts are delicious. Organic Dijon Apple and Cherry juice at breakfast is a winner.
      The city centre is pedestrianised but there are cobbles in places which is always a bit of a challenge.
      I'll post a separate footprint, with photos, of our visits to the Museums, Beaux-Arts and the Natural History. I didn't get bored in either which is a minor miracle!
      Here are some around the city of Moutarde and Cassis and the hotel.      Read more

      After lunch we left Troyes and travelled into the Burgundy region, home of some of the best and most expensive wines in the world, primarily pinot noir and chardonnay.

      Our destination was Dijon, the capital of Burgundy, a town from the Middle Ages, famous for its mustard making.Read more

      Dijon

      January 21 in France ⋅ ☁️ 4 °C

      Wir starten gleich morgens begleitet von Sonnenschein entlang der Vogesen. Deren schneebedeckte Gipfel leuchteten in der Morgensonne oberhalb der Weinberge. Nach einer guten Stunde Fahrt über die ruhigen und wie hier in Frankreich typisch gut ausgebauten Landstraßen erreichen wir Belfort. Schon von Weitem sieht man die riesige Festung. Wir finden schnell den großen und kostenlosen Stellplatz und genießen jetzt erst mal in Ruhe unser Sonntagsfrühstück. Charly möchte seine Blutwurst essen! Oh je, dazu möchte er Senf. Das „gute Senfglas“ steht noch zu Hause im Kühlschrank. Da bleibt nur eins: Touränderung🤔. Lyon muss warten. Wir suchen eine schöne Route nach Dijon um die vermissten Vorräte zu kaufen 😋
      Dann starten wir endlich unseren Erkundungsgang durch die sehenswerte historische Altstadt von Belfort und trinken genussvoll in der wärmenden Sonne auf dem großen Marktplatz einen Cremant🥂.
      Am späten Nachmittag gehts dann wieder weiter Richtung Dijon.      Read more

      Day 16

      Dijon, France. Non merci.

      November 18, 2023 in France ⋅ ☁️ 12 °C

      Crossing the Swiss / French border around 1530, we finally arrive in Dijon, France around 1900. Noting this is the 2nd last night of the tour, and our first of two nights in Paris, a small group of us head out on a tram to Dijon square. It's Saturday night. It's busy. Getting a table for 7 is next to impossible.

      We eventually find a bar that also serves food. Hardly ideal for the children in our group though, nearing 2030, it'll have to do. Mason, our lead navigator, does a spectacular job of leading us to correct tram numbers and finding possible venues to dine. He is 12. I'm 45. I hang my head in shame and accept navigation and I are never going to be mates.

      Tired, exhausted, we head back to our hotel. I decide to enjoy a long hot shower. Sometime near the conclusion of my shower, I am horrified / mortified to find a man entering my bathroom. The stuff of horror movies I feel. There's nowhere to hide. I am completely starkers. Like most of us are when showering. I scream. I yell. "What the f*ck!", grab a towel and chase this man out of my room.

      I see the room filled with steam, which had caused the fire alarm to trip. I calm myself and realise I've now transformed the bedroom into a steam room. Also. Heard of exhaust fans France?

      The mortifying experience continues as the next entourage, tour director Luigi and hotel representatives knock at my door to see if I'm alright. I yell through a crack in the door. It was the steam!! I don't smoke!! I'm not okay! I've just been viewed in my birthday costume by a complete stranger!

      I learn over breakfast the following morning, several guests had assembled in the foyer to evacuate, anticipating a fire. Not only am I overwhelmingly humiliated for the intrusion and exposure, I've also interrupted an entire hotel. I was just showering! Luigi assures me the only issue he has is not knowing it was my room, and him not being the first responder. And how lucky the hotel employee was to view such a beautiful woman. Not reassured, I accept I can only move on.

      Dijon, thanks for the mustard. That's about all I've got for you.

      en avant pour Paris.      Read more

      Two days - 500 miles, phew!

      September 9, 2022 in France ⋅ 🌧 14 °C

      Well me muckers, how bin thee all? Were off to France, notably the right hand bit of the Rhone Alps and then south and left a bit into Provence. That's the plan, but who knows whether it will happen, weather and time permitting I'm guessing.

      Well we get off well and down to the M25 when the heavens opened big time and we am driving along a river basically, well scary! Eventually we gain dry ground and get to the tunnel in good time and cross OK.

      We drive along on the 'wrong' side of the road for an hour or two and he finds us a stop for the night in a town along the way. We then are aware of the death of our good Queen Liz which is so unexpected and very sad, so we drink to her reign and then apart from a bit of rain we all have a good night's kip.

      Friday we are in transit again along the highways of France avoiding the extortionate toll motorways (cuz he's a bit of a skinflint) , which makes for slow progress but the villages and towns are interesting en route. Then after going through the umpteenth village at a steady 50 killys per hour, he is a bit too late on me brakes entering one, and I get flashed by a camera! Well to say he ain't happy is an understatement! Teks him a few killys to calm down. Quite noticeable are the sunflower and sweetcorn crops in the fields have all been ruined by the scorching weather and fields are burnt to a crisp. We are overnghting again on a motorhome aire in a small village which is very peaceful. Tomorrow thank gawd we aim to complete the journey to Annecy by the lake to a campsite for a stop of three nights to recuperate from our travels. I'm gonna need it too cuz it's a knackering journey.      Read more
