September 6, 2023,Von Epernans/Chalon-sur-Saone und Retour bei Tournus

First on the dead straight Voie Verte, which is only open to cyclists and pedestrians, we then continued on the Voie Bleue cycle path along the Saone. Very quiet and relaxing, sometimes a bit monotonous. The destination, the city of Tournus, surprises with an impressive Romanesque cathedral. The evening ends in the magical atmosphere of Chalone-sur-Saone
