April 21, 2023,MJW 11, von Seyssel nach Montagnieu

Start at 8:30 a.m. First down to Seyssel. From there I follow the Rhone cycle path. At a construction site, I am particularly clever and get on the pilgrimage route. There I meet Alfons again. The end of the story: I'm allowed to pack up and first carry the bike and then the luggage up a steep incline.
