The camping was in a farm, very particular. The whole family worked with animals and in the fields. About 2 hours drive were separating Lollo and I from our new destination. A place I also visited with my parents but that more than the castles, remained impressed in my heart and memories: Mont-Saint-Michel. Just few…

The evening before I had bought something for breakfast and incredibly so, it withstanded the bike ride. I didn’t go easy on it 🤣 Since the Amboise castle was just 1,5 Km away I left Lollo and the tent at the camping and walked to it. Walking allows me to get a much better feeling…

As expected, it rained. Not to complain but it just takes a good extra amount of time to pack, when you have a wet tent and a motorbike. So it was only around 11:30am that arrived at the castle of Chamborde. It’s an absolute beast of a castle. A behemoth but with charme and proportions.…

It rained for most of the night, including the morning after so everything was wet: my tent, my laundry, everything. Instead of going to see the big vulcanos, I opted to save some time (spent drying my stuff) with a hike nearby. Funny enough I got lost, twice, and what was supposed to be a…

The night was relaxing. The morning started in the same way the evening before ended: with a gorgeous view from my tent. It’s not easy to find a good meal in France but the sweets balance the situation. The boulangeries are always full of delicious things. So this morning, for breakfast I stopped at one.…

The alarm clock rang at 7am. To increase my chances of success and explore other alternatives, I needed to be the first customer when the doors of the dealership were going to open at 9am. There were several other dealerships for other brands in town but Ducati had to be the first. The drive from…

All motorbike dealships in France are open from Tuesday to Saturday and are closed Sunday and Monday. A lesson I learned the hard way. It makes sense but my timing was not the best. I decided to spend the day visiting the nearby city Besançon. Once again the invisibility cloak worked his magic and I…

I was in the middle of the Voges but before continuing the fun ride I decided to visit a city nearby called Colmar. It was Sunday so the city was mainly empty, except for the centre, which reminds of a little Venice. I parked next to other motorbikea and put the invisible cloak on Lollo,…

I spent the morning with lots of activities. My friends have two children: Louis e Clemence. I’m Louis’s godfather so we went shopping 😁 He choosed a 3D Labyrinth sphere which also his sister Clemence liked a lot and I added a big watergun on top. He was thrilled! Later we walked through the city…
