The heat’s here to stay. One cannot hide by a canal any longer, pretending it’s a cool day. And then there’s that ferry that’s booked to take us to England from Le Havre. One way […]
2019 Day 92 – Bourgogne Canal
I shouldn’t be surprised, it being summer, but the heat is making a comeback tour. Just when I had happily settled into seemingly endless mild sunshine, the dial’s been turned up to “scorch”. Having found […]
2019 Day 91 – Beaune and Chateauneuf
Finally, our timing works to enjoy one of the best aspects of French country life – market day! Beaune’s is a particularly good one, with a wonderful array of produce. The only challenge is exerting […]
2019 Day 90 – Pesmes and Beaune

Leaving Amberg in the morning, we hit the German motorways, heading 170 kilometres west, to experience life in the Middle Ages, in the pretty Bavarian town of Rothenburg ob der Tauber. If you’ve not been […]
