23rd April 2013
Woke up to a lovely sunny morning with the birds singing, After breakfast we set off, stopping at a Lidl for some provisions. Still heading south east towards Epinal. The road from Thaon les Vosges to Thann was absolutely stunning very picturesque and looking very alpiney, going past lots of ski resorts, we are now very close to the Swiss border. We topped up with fuel along the way and arrived at the Montreux Chateau Aire about 2.00pm. Derek went to pay and decided we were going to stay here for 2 nights, we got the chairs out and sat out admiring the view of another canal. While we were sat out a young Belgium lad came up and embarrassingly asked us for toilet paper as there was none in the toilets on the Aire, we got talking and he told us he was cycling from Belgium to the centre of France and was volunteering to work on an Eco farm. Gotta take your hat off to him we must have been 200 miles from Belgium, after chatting for 10 mins he was on his merry way waving to us as he cycled away with a pack of our Aldi tissues. We spent the rest of the evening with a glass of white wine (or two) watching the sun go down.
