Wednesday 20th
June. Dijon, France
Long day today left Mougins at 09:30 and headed up into the
foothills of the Alps climbing for an hour or more. Some lovely views though
and passed through a perfume making region around the town of Grasse where
there were adverts for guided tours all over the place.
If we thought the views were good going up through Grasse
then when we got further into the Alps they were spectacular and just kept
getting better with mountains, cliffs, rivers and steep valleys around every
bend. The journey across the top of Italy into France around the Riviera was
nice but not one I would want to do again but today’s trip in the mountains I
would love to do again and spend more time exploring and climbing.
Eventually we dropped down out of the mountains just north
of Grenoble and waved a sad farewell and to make up time bit the bullet and
used the motorways for a while.
We are spending the night in Formula One hotel on the north
of Dijon arriving there just after 21:00 having covered 386 miles.
Tomorrow we intend to push on to a similar hotel just north
of Lille leaving just a short hop to Calais on Friday.
