Day 9: Paray le Monial - Dijon


Today started with an easy and fast first hour. Thereafter, life on the bike became tough with headwinds and partially very bumpy roads. However, following a channel about half the distance, the ride has been a lot nicer than yesterday when straight lines was on the menu.

Dijon has a seriously nice city center, with interesting and amazing buildings popping up everywhere. When I arrived, I was too hungry to pay much attention, but it was impossible to ignore those buildings. Come and see for yourself.

Today's menu has been fairly scarce until dinner was served, but then I had a nice local beef bourgouise - a kind of stew - and a very nice bottle of wine (see previous post). The place, la Concorde, may not be the finest place to dine, but it certainly does the job efficiently and nice.

Tomorrow is a long day, probably featuring some rain, and thus it is time to sleep. Bonne nuit!
