At 7, the restful night at the hostel also came to an end. At 7:30, the breakfast buffet opened, and it wasn't long before the dining room filled up. Specifically, with older folks, a tour group that apparently wanted to see the fortress. The coffee machine also had initial difficulties. For breakfast

The last morning at the campsite is truly autumnal. Dense fog and just over 10 degrees. There's no way the tent will dry quickly. So, I get myself ready first, take a nice warm shower, and put on all my clothes again. Then I fire up the stove for Nescafe. By the way, the first 220g cartridge lasted a

This morning the sun didn't want to come through much in Chimay. But my stage is supposed to be short and actually fast, so the slightly damp tent will soon be standing again. It's already autumnal and I notice that the further north I go. Camping Chimay can be recommended. Best tent pitch of the tour

With a maximum of 8 degrees this morning, I'm skipping the shower and just doing the essentials. The tent is damp. The sun only comes over around 8:30. I go to the boulangerie and get a well-filled cheese and ham baguette. Coffee is brewed on a bench, done.

The morning is quite mild with over 10 degrees. The campsite near Carlepont is quite quiet, but the sanitary facilities are unkempt and dirty, and the tent pitches under conifers are also not optimal. Rather in high summer. At least there was hot water. Today I will first ride a bit through the forest

Today was supposed to be another "normal" cycling day, without big cities and with as smooth surfaces as possible. And so it was. From Saint Witz – stocked with plenty of food and water – I ride through a forest to reach the Eurovelo 3 again. It starts off hilly. The day is divided into two parts today

I first had to drive a few kilometers to Massy, where I came across the V40 cycle path. This was supposed to take me to the Ile de la Cite and Notre Dame. Actually a beautiful cycle path that leads through many green spaces and spreads some peace despite the busy surroundings. A few altitude meters also

Someone had already asked me if I really wanted to put myself through Paris. One reason is the lack of good cycle paths that could have led me around it. And the other is that I haven't taken the metro in this great metropolis for a long time. And so that I have enough time and my backside can recover

Today I was ready to go shortly after 9 am. When I got up at 6:50 am, it was only 9 degrees Celsius and the shower was colder than warm. What are French campsite owners actually thinking? The comfort zone has certainly been left behind for a long time. The tent was only slightly damp and I could quickly

It rained properly for the first time on the tour, in the morning. Luckily, it only stopped around 8:30 AM. In the meantime, I had breakfast in a large tent and then dried my tent. It worked quite well. The nice lady of the campsite came shortly after 10 AM and picked up the key. I was able to set off

In the Mustard Hostel I didn't need a duvet. It was so warm in the room or in the bunk. It was a mixed 6-bed dorm, which I also didn't know when booking. I got 2 lockers with programmable combination locks. The system seems to be prone to errors, as my predecessor apparently already had problems. With

On the shady campsite in Dole, I can't leave the tent and carry it to a sunny corner. Today I will be staying overnight in a hostel in Dijon, so nothing should be packed damp. Despite the adversities, I set off at 9:45. Camping Dole could benefit from new sanitary facilities. The receptionist Sylvie

The campsite near Besancon is recommended. The tent meadow was also well filled during my 2 days. After breakfast and drying the tent, I set off shortly after 10 am. After a few kilometers, I was able to admire the citadel from below, having been up there yesterday. Already very impressive what Vauban

The night before the final would perhaps have been better in the tent. 5 people in the room, and one of them thinks he's home alone. But the Garmin watch says I didn't sleep too badly. In any case, I'm in the bathroom shortly after 7 and soon in the breakfast room, where a school class is already present
