We left camp early to get a jump on Paris. We we wanted to camp around 100 km outside so we could go in and explore the city after morning rush hour. Today's ride took us through the Burgundy and Champagne regions of France. We stopped in Dijon for lunch and ordered the blue plate special - cheese Quiche starter and main of beef cheeks with potatoes, carrots and cabbage in a burgundy broth. It was quite good. We also shared a Croque Monsieur side car which was also good. A bit of an upgrade from my Royale w/ Cheese at McDonalds last week when we were in France for a few hours on our way to Switzerland.
The roads in France are really good and we saw very little traffic. We set the GPS to avoid tolls and expressways so the rid was through small towns, farms and vineyards. The weather also turned out to be great even though the forecast called for rain.
We did find a campground almost exactly 100 km from Paris. We won't stay too long as air cooled motorcycles and big cities don't mix too well. We will head to Belgium after Paris - might even find a good beer there.
Near champagne.
Dijon.
Need to come back for a tasting tour.
