Europe 2018 - July 2 - Clerval to Montbeliard

Monday - July 2
Early start today again since it will be very warm later. Breakfast came from the bakery across the street from this World War I and II memorial.
This canal provides a boating connection between the Rhone River and the Rhine River following the Doubs River.

A bit of garden art in L'Isle sur le Doubs where we stopped to get some first aid cream for Doug's tick bite.
A very diverse insect hotel!
A well-equipped bike shop located right on the canal. It had a restroom, tables, chairs, a repair station, covered bike parking, and Wifi plus lots of bike stuff....bike touring heaven!
There was a deviation for Eurovelo 6 that took us to the top of this hill in Etouvans so it was downhill to lunch.
Our shady lunch spot in Bart.
It was very tasty!!

Almost to our destination.
So different than last night's campground.
After showers, we walked up to the Museum of Chateau de ducs de Wurtenberg.
It was quite the mix of natural history,
human history,
and art.


Finished the day off with some more World Cup in the hotel lounge. It was a fine end to a very fine day!

Montbard to Montbeliard

End of Week 2
247 total miles - 398 km
And lots of soccer, tasty meals, and delightful conversations.
