Travelogues France

Cool temperatures. I had to put on more clothes at night. Then I got up late and had coffee with a couple from Valence in their motorhome. Didn't leave until 11am, never been so...

Nadine: Continuing along the west coast of France, our destination today is the Dune du Pilat, a gigantic sand dune recommended to us by our nephew Arvid, and the next and final...

With the experience of the last day, we then start to the next destination, but a significantly shorter distance. Bar-le-Duc would certainly be an interesting place, but the...

The next day we had to make progress, until Lac D'Aiguebelette near Chambery. Then we drive through the French Alps towards Turin. And from there towards...

Praying makes you hungry or thirsty - this thesis is, in my opinion, not too far-fetched. And since eating also brings body and soul together, this means that many things...

Done: after about 1590km, we arrived in Lourdes and went straight to the Grotto - a place where heaven and earth touch! Arrived! A place of heavenly peace for me Lourdes...

During the night, there was strong wind but it remained dry - as here in some regions we passed through, many rivers have low water due to drought, streams have dried up, and...

This day Rennes! Since the tourist office is quite far from our accommodation, we drive into the city center by car. That's the plan, but the city resists. In the pre-planning,...

This constant short drive and exploration of different places also takes its toll, especially at our age! Absorbing and processing impressions every day, which means...

So today we walked to Fécamp. The day started rainy, drizzled through the morning and then accompanied us sunny back to Yport below the cliffs; including swimming stops and...

This morning wasn't as hot, rather the loud pattering of rain in the early morning. When my alarm clock rang promptly at 8 o'clock, the sun came out a little bit🌤 First, I made...

From Agde to Albaron/Camargue - dropped my powerbank and broke it, therefore was a bit short on battery and post this with some delay 🙈 Distance cycled: 115 (approx) ...

After getting breakfast at the corner bakery, we looked at the city. Since we only had tickets for the next day, we had more than enough time. After unsuccessfully trying to...

Then we made our way to Saint Malo. A former pirate city, completely surrounded by walls on a peninsula. The so-called Intra Muros. Everything very massive, very well-planned,...

Always looking for a nice spot, we suddenly find ourselves in a dead end, turning around is too inconvenient for Markus so he simply drives through the bay without much thought....

Why do we wander around for so long? I saw a poster announcing a festival called RocknWheels. We had to go there. There were many cool motorcycles and cars to see, all a bit...

Because of the overcrowding, we continue driving, just a few km further at Pointe du Brezellec we find a less visited place, right on top of the cliff overlooking the bay and...

Along the coast, we made a detour to Palaves les Flots. The bus was washed with full body effort, it was really necessary again. We found another absolutely beautiful overnight...

There is nothing going on in the town during the winter months. We take a nice walk. Along the harbor and the beach and through the town to the church. Then we continue through...

On 3.5th, I will first go to Mulhouse. Because the TGV to southern France only departs once a day with bicycle transport in the morning at 8 o'clock, I have to arrive the day...

June 30, 2020 The fifth day... We leave the beautiful city of Saint-Malo and find our way. After circling the city once along the city walls, we decide to take a boat tour...

The alarm clock rang at 6 o'clock. Departure was planned for 8 o'clock...okay, it turned into 9:30 o'clock...but I was still under the influence of the protein shock...or maybe...

I don't write because I'm asked to by others - except by my mother-in-law of course - but because I ask myself to do so. I don't write to be understood, but to understand - to...

Today by car from Étéham to Bayeux. Bayeux has 13,000 inhabitants and is located in Normandy. Places of interest include the Gothic cathedral and the "Bayeux Tapestry". The...

Monday, 05.08.19 After a short breakfast with croissants in Paris, we continue towards Bordeaux. Highlight of the day: Our car needs an oil service in 1000 km. Good joke, and...

Da bin ich jetzt also endlich in Frankreich! Das ist ja echt unglaublich, dass es erst meine Auszeit braucht, dass ich das mal schaffe. Die Anfahrt war etwas beschwerlich. In...

We dared to take another long stage of 192km to reach the northern coast of Brittany. Per woke up after 30 minutes of driving, so we had to take a longer break. We used that...

We got up at 9 a.m. a bit tired and still slightly alcoholic. Unfortunately the service restaurant was closed and we had to go to the buffet. It was worse there than at the...

I grabbed my backpack and sped off to Besançon for four hours in 38°C heat. The drive was beautiful — and surprisingly bearable with the air conditioning in the car. Lucky me: the...

Today was a travel day, 373 km through the Netherlands, Belgium with a stop in Ypres until Saint Omer, east of Calais
