    • Jour 4

      Domaine Pierre Rousseau

      6 juillet 2022, France ⋅ ☀️ 21 °C

      Op aanraden van Wouter en Ariane zijn we naar het domein van Pierre Rousseau in Molesme geweest. Deze ontzettend aardige man (Francis) kon ontzettend leuk en enthousiast vertellen over zijn wijnen. Ze maken erg lekkere Cremants (ze mogen het geen Champagne noemen ook al begint het Champagne gebied ca. 5 kilometer verder)! Het was een soort schuur midden tussen zijn wijngaarden, waar alles gebeurt. Van druiven persen, bottelen, tot rusten van de flessen (de Cremants dienen 12 tot 24 maanden te rusten voordat ze geschikt zijn voor de verkoop!), tot etiketteren en verkoop. Deze man heeft 5 hectare land en produceert 20.000 flessen per jaar.
      Deze wijnproeverij was echt de leukste die we gedaan hebben, zo enthousiast (in het Frans🙃)! Uiteraard gaat er wat mee naar huis 🍾🍷🥂

    • Jour 37

      Day 34 - Dolancourt to Clairvaux

      24 mai 2023, France ⋅ ☀️ 14 °C

      OMG! What an amazing day! I rejoined the Path both literally and figuratively. Most of the walking was up and down what I think could be described as undulating hills. There were some serious ascents and decents. The highlight of which was the ascent up Chemin du Saint Germain (St. Germain's path) out of Bar sur Aube - which, by the way, is an incredibly beautiful city and somewhere I could spend a lot more time. I've done something to my right ankle! I'm just hoping that it will be fine in the morning. The day peaked, to be my best day here, when I got to Clairvaux. The Abbey here was founded by Saint Bernard in 1115, taken from the monks as part of the French Revolution, made a prison by Napoleon Bonaparte in 1808, I think, and is now a maximum security prison for 10, possibly less, prisoners (the guide wasn't 100% sure). It will close as such at the end of this year. For the very modest sum of €9.50, I got a guided tour of many of the old buildings (including one of the original restored medieval buildings), no photography allowed, with just one other person, a Dutch woman, in English! It made my day! The tour was supposed to end at 5:30, but we didn't finish until around 6 pm as we had so many questions. Like, did you know that until 1905 the law in France made it compulsory for everyone to attend church on Sunday and that capital punishment was not stopped until 1981 (the last execution was conducted in 1977)? Final observation: all vines in Champagne are planted on slopes. It must be a drainage thing.En savoir plus

      Weiter Richtung Heimat

      18 avril, France ⋅ ☁️ 11 °C

      Gestern wollten wir in Auxerre bleiben, aber keine Chance. Alles überfüllt und voller Baustellen. So fuhren wir weiter bis Brienon. Stellplatz an einem Kanal. Heute dann bis Dienville an einem Jachthafen mit Strandpromenade, alles da, nur kein Wetter.En savoir plus

    • Jour 1

      Start in ein neues Abenteuer

      15 novembre 2022, France ⋅ 🌧 13 °C

      Heute Morgen war es endlich soweit. Unsere Reise nach Marokko geht los. Wir haben uns in diesem Sommer von unserem Frankia getrennt und uns etwas vergrößert. Da ich im Concorde mehr Platz zum arbeiten habe, können wir in diesem Jahr auch länger unterwegs sein😁 In Luxemburg haben wir nochmal vollgetankt und Kaffee eingekauft. In Brienne-le-Château in Frankreich haben wir einen Übernachtungsplatz unterhalb des Schlosses auf einem großen Parkplatz gefunden. Da es regnet und wir nicht mehr in die Stadt möchten, nutze ich die Zeit um noch etwas zu arbeiten. Andrea bereitet inder Zwischenzeit ein leckeres Steak🥩 mit Folien Kartoffeln🥔 zu. Laut Wetterbericht soll das schlechte Wetter noch einige Tage bleiben 😪. Na ja dann kommen wir schneller nach Spanien 😉En savoir plus

    • Jour 36

      Day 33 - Villeret to Dolancourt

      23 mai 2023, France ⋅ ☁️ 16 °C

      It was a hard day walking today. I couldn't get to sleep last night, and I was really drained today - no energy. In addition, I was entirely off Path due to accommodation issues; all of my own making. Today, I walked on the D2, D69, D400, D396 (mostly), D619, and ended on the D44a. The traffic wasn't heavy, but there were a lot of trucks. I came across a very cute street library in a bus shelter and what appeared to be a Roman style, public bath house in a place called Hampigny! I also walked past two darling little 'shelters', both with fireplaces inside (nothing else). I'm in a really lovely place tonight, a Spa, and am looking forward to a good meal and a very good night's sleep. The river is l'AubeEn savoir plus

      Stage 29: Chavanges to Brienne-le-Châtea

      18 mai 2023, France ⋅ ☀️ 41 °F

      Stage 29: Chavanges to Brienne-le-Château

      My last VF stage for 2023!!!! Next year I’ll need to walk the three days I missed because of my knee, and then jump ahead to Brienne-le-Château to start my VF 2024.

      Today was a long day because the first hour was spent just getting from Chavanges to the VF.

      This part of France in the Spring is lovely. So much green! I walked through fields again, as I have for the past week or so. Some small woods, too. Of course. Lately it has been fields and small woods with a few tiny villages and some churches thrown in for variety. 🙂🙂🙂

      In Brienne-le-Château I am staying at the pilgrim house. Very comfortable, and very near my bus stop for tomorrow morning.

      The town is known for a an impressive 18th century castle, now a psychiatric hospital, and the military school where Napoleon lived and studied for five years in his youth.

      The church is nice enough, with fun art projects done by children.

      It’s hard to believe this is it for 2023. It was 29 days, about 400 miles, but looking back it seems like 5-6 days. ♥️

    • Jour 120

      Fahrtag mit tiefem Einblick

      17 mars, France ⋅ ☁️ 15 °C

      Die Reise geht weiter gen Norden. In Tonnerre war ein Zwischenstopp geplant. Sonntags ist in dieser Region von Frankreich, also der Bourgogne und der Champagne ein ruhiger Tag. Kaum jemand ist unterwegs, so auch in Tonnerre . Die Stadt scheint trotz einer spektakulären Sehenswürdigkeit von einer Quelle, sehr ausgestorben. Und das, obwohl sie einen unschätzbaren Wert an Trinkwasser haben. Hier gibt es eine Karstquelle, den Fosse Dionne, den schon die Kelten zu schätzen gewusst haben. Seit dieser Zeit siedeln die Menschen an dieser blauen Quelle und die Stadt Tonnerre entstand.

      Optisch ist diese Quelle mit dem Blautopf in Blaubeuren zu vergleichen, aber hier viel beeindruckender, weil mitten im Stadtgebiet, umbaut mit großen Steinquadern, seit dem 18. Jahhundert teilsüberdacht und als ehemaliges Waschhaus voll genutzt.

      Wir sind fasziniert von dem sprudelnden Wasser, das sich mit 300 l/ sek. in einen Bach ergießt und das tief blau-türkise Wasser tut, mit dem zu erahnenden Felsloch , sein Übriges.

      Der Quelle schließt sich ein Höhlensystem an, das auf 370m erkundet wurde und wahrscheinlich auch mit einem 40 km entfernten Fluss im geologischem Zusammenhang steht, aber leider auch schon mehreren Höhlentauchern das Leben gekostet hat.

      Sehr faszinierend dieses sprudelnde Quell.

      Danach ging es nur noch darum, Kilometer zu machen. Die Bourgogne konnte noch mit Wald und vielen Wasserläufen aufwarten, die Champagne jedoch nur noch mit Feldern... ein bisschen langweilig! Nun stehen wir dennoch sehr schön in Arcis-sur-Aube, haben einen leckeren Kebab im Bauch und werden morgen nach Luxembourg durchfahren.

      Day 32 - Drosnay to Villeret

      22 mai 2023, France ⋅ ☁️ 15 °C

      The forecast for today was fog, and it remained hazy and overcast all day - though surprisingly warm. I rejoined the Path at Outlines, which meant I missed a stage of the VF, but I'll have to live with that - no accommodation means I can't do the walking. Not far from Outlines, I got off track reasonably badly. I was encouraged in my error by way markers that indicated I was on the right path! I didn't twig when the way markers told me to go left when I'd expected a right hand turn (I've been wrong on that score before) but I did twig when I saw, in the distance, the Spanish man doing the Saint-Jacques Compostelle, whose end point today was completely different from mine! I back tracked, closely following the VF app, and was not surprised that I'd missed the turn. The 'track' was just an impression of one filled with waist high grass! I heard rustling as I made my way down it, but you don't feel the same trepidation as you do in the long grass in Australia; anything that bites you here isn't likely to kill you. At the bottom, the grass now at chest height, I had a frog pond on my left, a creek straight ahead, and my VF app telling me to take an invisible path to the right! I forged on and came across a beaten down track, obviously made by other pilgrims in the same boat. Eventually, the grass now at head height, I found an 'official' VF way marker with the path much clearer ahead. It just shows you how important local land owner support for the VF can be as I came across another section of the path, later on, which had been nicely mown. Anyway, I made it to Villeret safe and sound, and to my delight, I am sleeping in a teenie, tiny house tonight - my very first. My hosts will be delivering my evening meal and breakfast for tomorrow shortly: heaven! As you can see, I visited a lot of what they call 1/2 timbered churches today - all historical monuments.En savoir plus

    • Jour 34

      Day 31 - Vitry Le François to Drosnay

      21 mai 2023, France ⋅ ⛅ 24 °C

      The first half of the walk today was up and down rolling hills in cultivated fields on well maintained weatherproof (read: rocks) agricultural roads. Which can be a little hard on the feet and sometimes treacherous when coming down. I finished the official route at Saint Remy en Bouzemont (France has a lot of little places with very big names) and then had to walk another 8 km, off the path, to get to my accommodation in Drosnay. I saw a lot of beautiful flowers today. The Spanish man who is walking the Saint-Jacques Compostelle is also staying here and was at the same accommodation as myself last night. Trouble is he speaks Spanish, obviously, and French - I speak neither!En savoir plus

    • Jour 26

      Bar-sur-Aube 14 miles

      7 août 2023, France ⋅ ☁️ 19 °C

      What is it with kids and trampolines? Do they never want to stop? I have had a go. It’s OK but a couple of minutes, tops, and I’ve had enough. For some reason they put the glamping tents beside the kids play park in this campsite. Oh yes, there was a hedge in between but there isn’t a lot of sound-proofing in a hedge. So there I was, lying in my tent which was beside the glamping tent, just building up a fine head of steam as blasted kids kept bouncing up and down on this massive trampoline just outside. Finally the damn great church clock near the campsite struck 10pm and silence reigned. But I had lost an hour of much needed beauty sleep.

      Now there is a strange thing about my tiny blow-up mattress. In the early days I found it almost impossible to sleep on. But last night I had little trouble. I don’t think I am that much smaller. It could be that I am getting used to a different place every night. I have now slept in 26 different places so I think I am just getting less fussy about where my head goes down.

      No possibility of breakfast this morning in the campsite or as I left town. Did come across a boulangerie later in the morning but it was a Monday wasn’t it.

      All roads today as I am going off route to save a day. The official route meanders a bit. No need.

      As I was walking along thinking I was miles from anywhere I heard a lot of squealing. Damn great tower sticking up out of the trees. Appears that there is an Alton Towers type of place very close by.

      Early arrival at tonight’s hotel so I dropped the bag and headed into town to see if I could catch a restaurant before they closed after lunch. No such luck but I did get a patisserie for quiche and cake. Bit cheaper. Caught up with domestic duties in the afternoon. Washing, charging phone, some advance booking etc. Tried out a Vietnamese carry out for tea. Not a great success. Made a change though.

      The one drawback with hotels is they often have TVs and there are few things more annoying than hearing your fellow guest’s TV blaring out through the paper thin walls. And unlikely to have a 10pm curfew. I do think I am becoming Victor Meldrew sometimes.
