Stopover with stay is after 830 km Besançon. An inexpensive hotel is located at the western outskirts. The hospital and the university are our neighbours. It's too late for a stroll through the city. So we do a walk through the appartment blocks where predominantly North Africans live.

The so smart satnav heads us over this narrow bridge. But behind the bridge is is a blind alley. |
The next morning we head off early, after we had programmed the GPS to "toll free". We want to have breakfast on the way in one of the many Super Markets. The city limit of Besançon is reached quickly. We are crossing the Doubs, a picturesque river with many turns, on a very narrow bridge and land in the village Avenay, always according to the instructions of the navigation. Suddenly the road is closed. The road should actually be the connection to the N 83, which we would have continued to the south. Now what? We make a U turn and go back to the bridge. Just before the bridge, we get the command turning to the left and again we land on the blocked road.

Indeed: the road is closed. We must turn back. |
Our road map is not detailed enough to make the right decision. So we decide to go in the direction of Dole. We have not only hunger, but our car was also thirsty. So we drive on a scenic road along the Doubs always looking for Dole. There on the edge of Dole is an Intermarché, where we refuel and have breakfast.
Then it goes quickly to the south via Lons, Bourg-en-Bresse, past Lyon eastward until we reach Valence in Provence. For many small roads, uphill and downhill, through small villages leads us into the Navi-known realms.
Shortly before 16 pm we pass Aubignan. We still hold on Carrefour Supermarché and get a wineskin with local red wine. In the evening we taste the wine on the terrace of our little cottage opposite the swimming pool. The weather is - as we had hoped - sunny and warm.
