The Voie Vert are great cycle paths.
It's a shame that you can hardly see the landscape through the bushes and trees.

October 4, 2023,🇫🇷 Chalon-sur-Saône: Auf dem Voie Verte zum Château de Cormatin 🏰🧔/👨‍👩‍👧‍👦

The Voie Verte [railway route] was the first in France [created in 1997]. I was traveling alone until 🏰. Then we tour the castle together [with a guided tour👍], including the castle park and labyrinth - a great experience. Finally, a little exercise: rolling out loosely with the wheels.
PS: We didn't make it to Cluny Abbey - later. 😊🧔

210909 - THURSDAY - Chalon-sur-Saone to Cluny

The night became restless due to problems with my digestive tract. I had to skip breakfast, Noélle, a former nurse, had nursed me back up until noon so that we could follow the other 4 who had driven ahead.
