Vernaison

At over 600 km, this is a pretty serious leg of driving. Packed and on the road by 8, which should give us the best chance to get into Barcelona as early as possible (lessen traffic impact).

Passing the tablet to get a photo of a really interesting looking museum in Leon didn't yield a great shot, but you get a bit of an idea how unusual the building is...

Didn't encounter much traffic before reaching our first stop for services, so we rolled up in just over two hours instead of three! Not surprisingly, there are so many vineyards and wineries along our route as we cruise through the rolling countryside. It seems that a significant portion of France's power must be generated using wind and solar because there are wind turbines and solar panel farms all over the place.

Last meal in France... Baguette, camembert wheel, and Orangina! Shared with friends!Read more
