Travelled:169km from Artaix through Chateauneuf, Bellroche mountain pass, Beaujolais wine region to St.Priest Motorhome supplier finishing in Montluel (cousins’ home).
It was a fresh autumn morning but the sun was shining, promising another beautiful day.
We left the peaceful camp on banks of the Canal and crossed the Loire River. The older buildings in the villages here have a distinct yellow rock giving them a golden glow in the sunlight.
As we approached the mountains the terrain became much greener and we enjoyed the lovely drive up and over Belleroche.
As we decended over the other side we were greeted with the wine area known as the Beaujolais, with vineyards on every conceivable hill side. There were many groups of people busy picking the grapes as it’s that time of year to make more wine!
We even drove past Mt Brouilly which is one of Mark’s favourite reds.
It wasn’t long until we were in the busy outskirts of Lyon making our way to a motorhome supplier in the hope to find a cartridge for one of our taps. After buying one for €11 Mark has do do some adjustments but managed to fit it. Then he checked under the basin to discover that the pipes were still leaking, so he had to pull everything apart again and this time replaced the joiners. So fingers crossed it won’t leak again. We eventually arrived at my cousins home in Montluel, to once again enjoy their company over good food and wine. A great way to end the day.
