Awake to another sunny day in France!
I skipped breakfast at the campsite as I’ve now run out of gas for my stove. So I cycled a bit until I found an open café, and breakfast turned out to be a coffee and a packet of crisps.
I spotted this true French classic rotting in a field.
I cycled past Sancerre with its large south-facing slopes filled with vines.
Lunch was some pasta in a mushroom sauce which was just a supporting act for the star of the show:
One area that I went through had been transformed with lots of art installations amongst the trees.
Cycling was pretty straightforward today, mainly following the river, and not straying from the Eurovelo route too often.
Hay stacks here are the same as everywhere else and not the kind in Monet’s paintings.
I’m now in chateau country and have seen a few already this afternoon.
I reached my destination town around 6pm, and headed what Google maps lead me to believe was a campsite but it turned out to be a shop. My plan B was a campsite 10km away, but as I started heading for that I stumbled across another much closer.
I checked in and set up the tent. There’s a small snack hut here which was open so I had dinner there. Also pleased to report this campsite has loos with toilet seats and toilet paper! Happy days.
Pouilly-sur-Loire to Sully-sur-Loire, 111 km. Total so far = 2,971 km.
Today’s selfie is the proof that you lost quite a few kg on those pedals. ..Did you drink the whole bottle of wine?
Thanks! I think.. Yes and it’s a little bottle of wine
Ou est le papier! Tu a trouver le papier! Très bon!
Eau dear!
My favourite wine! Was it delicious 🙂
All the wines here are delicious..!
Bring some back! #noroomyoureonabrompton
You can buy it in the supermarket!
No cheap high-strengh ‘cider’ in blue plastic bottles i notice! What’s wrong with these people? They don’t know what they’re missing☺ And no kebab shops. Must be a bit of a drag having to sample all these fine wines. Oh well, At least you’ve got loo roll.
Its got to be better than nettles.
Keep it rolling, Brother. Fantastic stuff ×
Nettles! When I head to a bar/cafe to get a coffee around 9am, there’s very often someone in there drinking already, but it’s always wine.. And the kebab shops and high strength cans exist but I’m on holiday so abstaining 😉 Love to Ang and Sam xx
