October 31, 2021,Ans Mittelmeer 9: Lavendel der Provence

Today it goes through the middle of the picturesque Provence. Past purple lavender fields, rosemary and thyme fields. The scent of Provence herbs is in the air and I can't get enough of this beautiful part of France.

The Rhone cycle path also shows its most beautiful side in bright sunshine. The blue river shines in competition with the sky. …

April 15, 2024,Day 3: Grenoble -> Nice

The morning started off great. The roads were beautiful and I was full of energy after a good night’s sleep and a refuel of chocolate croissants. However, most of the day ended up being filled with long stretches near the river. I cycled past several other bikepackers pushing through. I’m amazed by how diverse the cyclists are, some are older, …

EU24 Day 40 Châteauneuf-du-pape to Châteauneuf-du-Rhône

Off to a very relaxed start this morning until I discovered that every time I tried to pump up the rear tire the valve would get stuck and let all the air out so quickly fix that with the new valve but it meant taking everything off the bike and taking the bike upside …

October 14, 2023,Pierrelatte nach Avignon

The first half is an ok stretch in terms of scenery.
Caderousse a very nice place. We had a lovely meal at Café de France.
From then on we drove on a stretch of the Via Rhona, which apparently only reopened at the beginning of October 2023. The path leads over a passerelle built only for bicycles and pedestrians between …

🇫🇷🚴‍♂️🚴‍♂️<< ☀️😎. Today we conclude our 3rd week of cycling. The total number of km driven now stands at 1,587. And we are of course quite proud 🥉 of that 😁! A particularly warm day today. The mercury was around 33-34 degrees from the afternoon. In that regard, it was a good thing that we didn't find a ☕️ ☕️ …

September 10, 2023,20e dag-etappe van BOURG SAINT ANDÉOL naar Avignon (camping du pont d'Avignon)

We used to have to sing it in primary school: sur le pont d'Avignon. Finally saw that thing once.
When we arrived in Avignon it was 34 degrees. I took a photo of that beautiful bridge, but otherwise I didn't have much energy to let the admiration last long.
It was a somewhat boring cycling route today. Many kilometers at …
