From the Loire to the Alps

Since my last post, I have experienced and seen a lot.

For the first time, I was in Paris. The city of love.

Through a wwoofing place, I met a friend there, where I could also sleep and who showed me a bit of his Paris. For example, we walked along an old ring railway line. It was nice to get to know Paris without the tourist madness.

A day later, my mother and aunt arrived. We then visited the famous attractions for 1.5 days.

On Saturday, we went to Tours, on the Loire, where our bike tour was supposed to start on Sunday morning. In total, we had 14 castles, 330 km, and 6 days ahead of us. We cycled along the Loir, the Cher, the Indre, and the Venant. Except for 2 days, we actually had good weather. The last, and also the longest day, was chosen as the only hot day.

Here is a small selection of pictures from this great time.
