Ventoux, Paname, part 2

Quick translation in 150'. But it's also hot. I'm making a stop at the station... Is it hot for you too? I managed the transfer from Vienna to Roanne under the mega heat! (A little over 2 hours) However, I forgot my drawing notebook at the super Gallo-Roman museum... Pfff. (GT was on the verge of a…

Yes, everything is fine. I'm out on the road. And oh yes, it's hot! I wanted to swim in a branch of the river because it's so hot. I've just finished lunch and I'm back on the road. :) Damn, everything is hot. The bench I'm sitting on is hot...

I've changed my mind. On tomorrow's route, there's a beautiful 18th-century castle open to the public. I'd rather see it in the museum on the Loire. I'm setting off again. No worries. I'm going to sleep at the gates of Nevers. I'm happy because I rode well and it was warm. This noon, I had an exce…

HUGE spot! At the foot of the town of Sancerre, which is about 300m away I believe, and which I would like to visit tomorrow. I have a 360° dome of sky! I'm at the back of an orchard. It's so beautiful and very wild. I have enough light to eat.

Spot on the banks of the Loire. Last night. Tomorrow Loing Canal.

Just before setting up my tent, I heard a man tell his wife, who was crossing the spot where I had chosen to sleep, "watch out for night vipers." Damn! The crazy guy! I was amazed. (Quotes to use in an improv)

Last Sunday, deep in the Nièvre between Bourbon-Lancy and Decize, a horrible route with climbs and descents, the heatwave, 25 km at a maximum of 15 km/h – even some climbs on foot + out of desperation I put on a podcast – it was the only time on the route – about the life of Jean Genet – a small bu…

I'm finishing my Grand Tour #1 tomorrow. Tonight is the last night along the canal. I haven't taken a shower for a week now, and Gilles P. thinks that's why the mosquitoes avoid me (!). A perhaps interesting technical detail for you, as I've been told Scotland is swarmed by mosquitoes in summer....

J'ai changé mon plan pour la dernière nuit hier. À Moret/loing g préféré dormir le long du canal que de rentrer dans la forêt. Là je suis à St Mammes, au café des capitaines, à l'embouchure de la Seine et du Loing à 30km de Melun. À la maison vers 18h Heu non pas de lessive. Après je ne me suis pa…
