A beautiful stage, the roads better paved than in the previous section. The scenery was also more attractive. At the northern end of the Tunnel de Saint-Albain (a 641-meter-long underground canal, opened in 1880), I just managed to grab an ice cream in the garden restaurant before it, too, closed.

The night was terrible because I got acute conjunctivitis. Therefore, first consult a doctor and let the drops work until the afternoon. Started around 4 p.m., bathed in the Saone on the way and finally reached Gray at 10 p.m.
28 degrees, hardly any wind.

After a moderately hot coffee and a few small things, we immediately took our bikes out of the garage, loaded them up and set off. The area around the house looked, let's say, "very …
