Great night at Fab House - breakfast with freshly squeezed orange Initially had to negotiate steps and what looked like part of a wall to get out of the town but once on the road sped off to Chantilly which is a spectacular sight Cycled on through minor roads - very gentle - coffee stop and award winning boulangerie at Beaumont on the river Oise Huge cakes! The track had a barrier across at one point which we managed to ignore and clamber round this was followed by a quick detour before lunch as the GPS failed Colin. Nikki spotted a sign after a few miles of scooting down the main road and we were back on track Lunch by the River Oise then a gentle meander along to the confluence with The Seine There were a few working barges on both rivers and some industry on the banks as we approached Paris Cycled through the Forest St Germaine and arrived at an interesting little hotel Les Terres Blanche which looked like a converted warehouse.
Beer in the small courtyard -well earned after 50 miles !
Meal in an interesting Portugese restaurant near the hotel - cheap with great food but' Meine Host ' was an interesting character The place was empty but I think we were too much trouble!
Really top class breakfast at the hotel before heading off on the final push to Paris
Oooh, that beer looks as though it was needed! 50 miles - incredible. Well done Nikki for spotting that sign, I remember when you did that in NZ, when all seemed lost! Great pics!
