Rhone Alpes

Sunday, 10th May.

Oh what a beautiful morning!  Glorious sunshine and a clear blue sky greeted us when we woke today and combined with Happy Mothers' Day greetings from children and grandchildren back home, it was a lovely start to the day.

We did a little toll way travel today, spending €4,80 and skirting Macon and Bourg-en-Bresse, through Ceyzeriat where there was a huge car boot sale or similar in progress, with hundreds of cars parked on either side of the road, then up the Col du Berthiand (780m) to Nantua where we are in an aire by the lake.  Gorgeous scenery for much of the way but unfortunately, no photo opportunities.

The afternoon was spent with a bike ride around part of the lake and through the town which, as it was a Sunday was very quiet and then in our chairs overlooking the lake, watching the passers by pass by, snoozing and being lazy in the sunshine.
