Todays ride started from the little town of Saint Jean en Royens in the Vercors as we took in some more of the Vercors spectacular scenery before heading north on the motorway for about 50k to get us into the Wine region in the foothills of the Jura mountain range.
We visited Baumé les Messiurs and the Abbey and then wound our way up through vineyards to Chateau Chalon near Arbois. Tonight we are staying in the most impressive Besancon full of Roman ruins on an ‘Oxbow loop’ of the river Doubs. Good night in the restaurant district and a few beers too (didn’t try the wine though!).

Night stay at:
Best Western Citadelle
13 Rue General Lecourbe, Besancon, Doubs, 25000 France
Usual Best Western quality, in the city near the river.
Good quality breakfast.
Gated car park, bikes were parked safe and reserved space out of the way but did cost 10 euro each to park.
Ideal for night out on town and sight-seeing.
