DAY 1 Going South through the beautiful Champagne region

Early bird start to avoid the announced heat wave. Our target is a campsite at the Aube river between Epernay and Troyes at approx 350 km from home.

Fantastic ride through endless grain fields. France has these wide open space with almost no traffic on the small roads. Quite a difference to overcrowded Belgium. We breath deeply ...


A few poppys are colouring the golden shine of the wheat.

Short coffee break in plain nature.


Shortly after we are hitting the vineyards of Northern Reims. Soft valleys and busy people all along working the vines under full sun.

Camping is situated in Arcis-sur-Aube, a small island dedicated for campers. It's run by a Dutch guy. 


After arrival at 1 p.m. first thing to do is cooking chinese noodles. Prepared by our little Etchebest himself.


We lived of that during our Island trip. That's camping 😋

Small stroll around the city center of Arcis with a Ricard at the bar. On the other side of the island, a small beach hides behind the camping. Fabulous swim in the Aube river.

Can't remember when I did that the last time. Probably when I was 18 or so ....


Getting sleepy on the grass. Tomorrow they announce 33°C 😬
