It’s always works a treat, driving the day before, to wake in our Les Plus Beaux Village of choice. With Pesmes on our very doorstep, it’s only moments before we’re fully immersed in village life […]

2019 Day 89 – Eguisheim
We fell in love with Eguisheim last year, one of the Les Plus Beaux Villages, just out of Colmar, in the gorgeous Alsace region. We vowed to return, if only to enjoy the lunch we […]
2019 Day 88 – Breisach
Before we dash into France, we take the opportunity to stock up on German favourites – smallgoods feature heavily. Of course by the time that’s done, it’s lunch time – one could set a clock […]
2019 Day 36 – Ivrea
It’s finally time to bid our beloved France farewell. We cross through the Italian border mid morning. Not that we needed any signage to tell us. It’s easy to know when you’re in Italy: cars […]
2019 Day 35 – Parc National des Ecrins
Oh thank goodness, we’re finally back on road – the heat has broken. It’s still in the early thirties, but that’s much better than it’s been. And besides, we have a secret weapon… mountains! Always […]
2019 Days 32 to 34 – Heatwave

2019 Day 31 – Valensole
Another day, another scorcher. But on the plus side, the morning light is excellent. It’s off to the lavender fields we go! They’re stunning in the morning light, so much better than I’d dared wish […]
2019 Day 30 – Lost in Lavender
There are very few things in this world that would see me willingly enter areas with temperatures threating to exceed 40 degrees. Seeing Provence’s lavender fields in flower is one of them. And it’s so […]
2019 Day 29 – Le Poet-Laval
It’s time to farewell the lovely Lyon and resume our lavender quest. Our journey south takes us along the Rhone river and the vineyards of the Cote de Rhone, Provence bound. It’s clear this is […]
2019 Day 28 – Lyon
Of course we’re much better organised for our second day in Lyon. We zoom up the hill to the (we know where the) bus (stop is) and alight in Lyon to utterly glorious blue skies. […]
