Another hot day ride which started at 9.10am,our next town to aim is Chauffailles, still on road D985, quite a big town very touristic with many shops open for business thus more busy than others that we saw. Next town is Les-Echarmeaux, another tourist where we stop for lunch.From here we turn into a smaller road D37 to Beaujeu and later another smaller road D9,where we saw many vineyards but not the fruit season, we stop at one of the castle-like wine tasting place in Villie Morgon but nobody there to welcome us. At Drace,we cross the highway A6 and a big river Saone where we found a paid campsite just next to the river.The owner gave us a discount knowing that we are Malaysian had cycled all the way from Paris and this makes him feel very proud.He speaks some Indonesian langguage,having stay there for some years.The campsite cost 4.6 euro per pax.Good facilities with very big shower room to clean up everythings.
