I am on the road again to track a few bike routes in northern France. These tracks belong to the Royal Champagne tour starting july 15 on the Fleur. You can take a look here: https://www.boatbiketours.com/boat-bike-tours/france/royal-champagne-paris-paris-premium/
Today I was in the valley of the river Aisne, centre of the battles of World War I. The area has many memory sites like the museum de l'armistice, the underground museum 'Caverne du Dragon' and many military graveyards. I biked part of the Chemin des Dames, a road on top this breathtaking landscape.

The Burgundy 'dry run' is done. Today we checked out a few last things like a visit to the cave de Bailly where they produce a lovely cremant. The first real tour starts end of may and will run every week until the end of september. A few cabins are avalable. This is absolutely going to be a fine experience.

Day 5 of our Burgundy 'dry run'. From Joigny to Auxerre. Again we enjoyed the bikepath along the river Yonne, but also did the longer option to Brienon-sur-Armençon, a lovely place on the Burgundy canal. We arrived in Auxerre, where this tour will end. But tomorrow one more day for a loop to the south and a visit to a winery.

Day 4 from Villeneuve-sur-Yonne to Joigny. All along the river a brand new bikepath. From Joigny we did a loop through the first vineyards of Northern Burgundy. We found a winegrower who will arrange a 'degustation' for our groups.

Day 3: Sens - Villeneuve-sur-Yonne. What a fantastic route! Halfway we visited the cider museum in a very small, authentic French 'hameau' on a hilltop. A nice lady will arrange a 'degustation' for our groups. Then downhill through a forest back to the river Yonne.

Day 2 of my Burgundy 'dry run'. We cycled from Pont-sur-Yonne to Sens through gently rolling hills. We met a friendly local who invited us to have picnic in his castle-garden with our groups. In Sens we visited the magnificent gothic cathedral of St. Étienne. And look what a nice mooring for Fleur and Zwaantje.

On the road with my friend and travel companion Lenny Versteeg to check all details for the Burgundy tour that we will run starting end of may 2022 on our fantastic barges Fleur en Zwaantje. Dates for 2023 are also on line. We started today's bike tour under a sunny sky in Montereau where the rivers Seine and Yonne meet. We are now in a beautiful little town Pont-sur-Yonne. https://www.boatbiketours.com/boat-bike-tours/france/northern-burgundy-auxerre-moret-sur-loing/
