The Idiots of Saint Val

Today we're staying in a campground called "the Illiots of Saint Val." We started off the day by leaving the farm we resided in yesterday. Since there was no picture yesterday, here it is: 
After leaving, we went through multiple shady paths lined with tall sycamore trees. They gave sufficient shade, and we hopped from path to path. They all looked similar to this:
In between paths, there were usually little towns. This particular one had a lot of oldness to it, and some of it was under construction.
After getting to this particular town, we decided it was time for second breakfast/lunch. And so the search began- but not for long. Up the street we saw a Saturday market full of goods. It had fruits and vegetables, clothes, and flowers. 
We took a walk through it and decided to get Lyle a pizza and me a sandwich and a cake. Here's me absolutely chowing the cake...
And us finishing lunch:
After that, we went and stocked up on lunch and supper supplies for tomorrow and the next day. Then, we continued the biking and saw this Chateau in the distance, which was associated with the Chateau rambouillet. 
Before we saw that thing, we saw the actual Chateau rambouillet. It was surrounded with several impressive motes in a complex structure. 
We finished off the day with a final 10 miles through hilly country, and towns. Before long we came to our cozy campground with $39 Wi-Fi (If we wanted it.) we are going to try to send this through a Hotspot from my mom's phone.

  4. Oh that cake looks amazing! Raspberry and chocolate? Your bike route is beautiful. I guess French countryside looks like Oregon a bit, minus all the chateaus of course, haha. Thanks for sharing your adventures with us. Ride on!

  5. I am such a huge fan of travel blogs, thank you so much for posting your adventures. I loved all the pictures, although the picture of Alex and the cake is my fav. Desserts while traveling is the best part, so much variety. Be well and have fun!
