Grenoble – Valence

After one rest day near Grenoble, I continued the cycle tour today. I started rather late, about 1 pm. The cycle path follows the river Isère and this is a voie Verte again, though in the middle part there are no signs, so I had to trust my route. Due to reconstruction worksBridge closed for all traffic of a bridge, i had to take a short deviation. The French government has built multiple large bridges just for cyclists and pedestrians. It seems not many people know about this bicycle network, because it was sparely used, if I compare it to the Inn cycle path in Germany. I had nice weather, sun and it was rather warm,so a bar of chocolate melted down in my pannier.
Pont vieux and Collégiale Saint BernardToday I cycled 103 km and found a camp site just near Valence and everywhere I hear my language Dutch, even the music in the bar.
One guy from Germany is here and he makes a similar cycle tour.
