Day 240: Bourg-en-Bresse to Chalon sur Saône
Pastoral France
What a gentle day in rural France. The road was rolling but such a smooth surface it feels like you could roll forever.
We’re now in Burgundy and we haven’t seen a single vine. Maybe tomorrow.
Leaving picturesque Bourg-en-Bresse
We’ve found a French tricolore to fly
This bike path on an old rail trail was great and we saw quite a few locals getting their exercise — on roller blades, cycles and on foot
Lunch at a patisserie was fantastic, quiche a l’oignan that was perfect and beautiful palmiers for afters — the best food
We just caught the patisserie before it closed
The harvest is in full swing
Could this be a more typical French road…
…oh, maybe add some trees lining it
The little town of Tournus
Very cute village Saint-Cyr
…and finally, into Chalon-sur-Saône
