It’s not a mini-cruise. It’s a fucking ferry - An X-rated ADVenture….

Not quite . Jean -Francois had a Ducati Hypermotard and always left the keys in overnight. His daughter Alena now runs Le Marronnier .
Definitely not recommended 😜
I knew that I wasn’t a hundred percent accurate about the story…
 
All very true indeed, having said that and stayed at Le Maronnier twice (possibly three times) it is hardly like Blighty….

Which will only serve to make it doubly disappointing, to find your bike gone in the morning.

:beerjug:
 
Excuse the poor edit and also poor camera position - mount I planned to use broke. A bit of balcony riding and efforts @Arsey goes to to get you tossers your pictures to moan about! :-) -

Very nice! There are some big looking rocks in those catch nets. Guess it shows they work!

Time for a chill then drinks on the terrace followed by dinner which is included .

Temperature hit 29 degs today and suddenly realised I could lower my screen on the fly to get more airflow . Makes a huge difference

You wouldn’t want to lose your concentration and crash over those little walls ! ( not wi out a parachute 😀)
 
Quick spin out this morning .
Scoops has taken to his bed as still feeling rough and @rjsmith26 has an appointment in Grenoble at 1600 to replace his rear tyre that he’s trashed trying to keep up with the SuperScoot 😜



This was our intended route. It’s a bit like a Vercors greatest hits featuring the Gorge du Nan, Col de la Bataille and Combe Laval .

If you’ve never been then you can’t get much better than this loop .



But we cut out the Gorge du Nan and went straight to waypoint 7 in Pont-en-Royans, giving us a loop of about 80 miles .

Just down from Rencurel
