Eating and drinking in Dijon

Saturday morning at 6:30 a.m. at the Cours Général de Gaulle in Dijon. It's still dark and not particularly warm at 7°C. Right now I'm longing for gloves for my clammy fingers...

Along the Canal-du-Centre from Santenay via Chagny to Chalon-sur-Saône and back

We are back at the Doubs and got a nice spot by the river, just before it flows into the Saône. The discovery tour through the Côte-d'Or took us to Flavigny-sur-Ozerain. It...

In the wine capital of Burgundy

Besançon, first stage of our second trip in 2023

194/1030 14 col des Montarons Lange hat es gedauert bis ich mich bei diesem herrlichen Mistwetter aufgerafft habe und eine Runde vor Ort gedreht habe. Sehr schöne enge Straßen...

341/836 13 Col des Croix Sunday morning in France is unimaginable without croissant!!! After the French breakfast, it's time to pack and hit the road. The goal is to cross...

We had read that Mâcon is worth a stop. Since we hadn't taken a break yet, it was necessary. The supermarket was open on Sunday morning, and my first officer went with a...

We leave Chalon-sur-Saône towards Mâcon. We take the harbor exit in the direction and continue as before. This way we go around the island and pass the river cruise ship docks...

Inspired by the expanse of the Saône River, our destination for the next day was Port de Plaisance, Chalon-sur-Saône. There's a Carrefour directly across the river. I had read...

The journey the next day started off simple and smooth. While we had a few locks the day before where not everything went smoothly, our goal was to reach Oisilly through 22...

Since the day before yesterday, temperatures here in eastern France have halved. While two days ago we were lying in the sun at over 30 degrees, today the thermometer only...

After spending a week with the pack, we head straight to our meeting point with Easy and Mogli. We meet in Arnay-le-Duc, in Northern France. It's a nice campsite right by a lake...

On 14.02 we start from Karlsruhe towards southern France. It is not easy to plan a meaningful route, as hardly any places are open at this time. This results in us experiencing...

#2 The first night in the motorhome is always difficult. The switch to a 1.40 meter narrow double bed is still difficult for Icke and me. If necessary, we could convert the...

November 04, 2021: Beaune F. On the evening of November 03, 2021, Jenny and I set off to Beaune without suspecting anything. The center of the wine-growing region in...

If you touch this owl, you will have a wish come true.

What was initially intended as a short bathing stop turned into a multi-day stay. This place is too beautiful to just pass through. On the second morning, I surprise Florianne...

The most important moment is always right now. That's the motto of my travel blog. And yet, I catch myself procrastinating... After just the 3rd night, the unwashed dishes and...

Yes, I have made quite a bit of progress again. The question came up how many kilometers I ride. Somewhere between 70 and 130. Today I rode almost 130 and had magnificent...

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...

After a restful night in Beaurepaire en Bresse, we landed in Spain tonight. The place in Beaurepaire en Bresse is located in the center, right by the town hall and is well...

Day 2 Etang de Moutiers Last night at 4:00 we woke up. Light sweat on the neck. The walk to the thermostat shows 22 degrees on setting level 1. It was -1 degree outside. Our...

We say goodbye to Sundays. Today our paths separate. We plan to be at Alex's cousin's place near Günzburg on Tuesday evening and split the 900 km route. We want to make a stop...

After saying goodbye to our winemaker (of course not without taking another bottle of wine with us), we headed to the dreamy village of Flavigny-sur-Ozerain, from there to...

Heading to the vineyards today, although we would say... They are more like wine hills than mountains. Very beautiful landscape and when you leave the main roads, you often...

On the way from Dijon to Lyon, we drove along the 'Route des Grands Crus', where the best wines of Burgundy are grown.

my last post was a bit ago, but now there's more to report :). the week after our visit to dijon, it finally snowed heavily one night. but the snow was almost gone the next...

Last weekend, I went to Dijon with the other German Wwoofer, who is currently staying with Philippe. As always, I had already thought about what I wanted to see and marked the...
