We came across the little pop-up booth offering refreshments on the bike path between Muides and Saint-Dyé, not unusual in Germany but unheard-of here. Nous sommes tombés sur ce petit débit de boissons sur l’itinéraire vélo entre Muides et Saint-Dyé, assez courant en Allemagne mais inconnu ici.

Boat on the Loire – Bateau sur la Loire
We cycled from Blois to Muides and back today on either side of the Loire. We hoped to take the little ferry across at Cours sur Loire but Covid seems to have chased it away. Nous avons fait Blois-Muides en vélo aujourd’hui sur les deux côtés de la Loire. Nous aurions aimé prendre le petit …
The Big Blue Pot – Le grand pot bleu
It seems that Loire Daily Photo has been hacked. My apologizes for the websites you are seeing when you try to comment. My IT son is working on it and I will let you know when the problem is solved. This container is on the bike route from Candé-sur-Beuvron to Château de Chaumont. Il semble …
A Local Ride – Une virée par chez nous
The Stone Bridge – Le pont en pierre
After spending most of the weekend gardening we had a pleasant ride on our bikes starting at Cheverny and having a tea break at Cellettes. Après avoir jardiné une bonne partie du week-end nous avons fait un circuit en vélo agréable en commençant par Cheverny et en prenant un pause-thé a Cellettes.
Postcard Summer 2020#19 – the Cuckoo Clock
We discovered an important thing today: the Black Forest, home of the cuckoo clock and the Black Forest cake, is not a cyclist’s paradise unless you have a mountain bike and better knees than we do or don’t mind riding alongside busy roads. Even with an e-bike, cycling uphill for 3.5 k is hard going. …

Postcard Summer 2020#18 – The Black Forest: Schiltach
Today we moved to our last region in Germany – the Black Forest – before heading home to Blois. The last photo is the view from our very large balcony. Aujourd’hui nous sommes allés à notre dernier lieu de séjour en Allemagne- la Forêt noire – avant de rentrer à Blois. La dernière photo est …

Postcard Summer 2020#17 – Vines on the Neckar
Most of our 47 k cycle route today was along the Neckar River and through vineyards which meant a lot of hills. We have thoroughly enjoyed our three days of cycling in the area, with recommendations from the helpful owner of our very comfortable rental apartment called Jägerschlösschen. Une bonne partie de notre circuit de …

Postcard Summer 2020#16 – More Kocher-Jagst Radweg: Schwäbisch Hall
Postcard Summer 2020#15 – Kocher-Jagst Radweg
Today we cycled 77 k in 4 hours 20 along part of the excellent Kocher-Jagst bike route near Heilbronn and went through scenic countryside and a number of pretty villages starting at Duttenberg and including Neudenau, Möckmühl, Jagsthausen, Neuenstadt am Kocher and Oedheim. It was a relief after the disappointment of cycling along the Neckar …
