June 11, 2026,🇫🇷 Tour de Bourgogne_6: Clamecy - Migennes

After a rain shower during the night, the tents are wet inside and out from condensation, and it takes a while until they are provisionally dried . . . the sun is missing. With a low of 8 degrees Celsius, it was the coldest night of the tour so far.
