In this episode, Patrick and Jenny spend another day bicycle touring along the Via Rhona, Eurovelo 17 from Sablons to Valence, a total of 33 miles or 53 kilometers. They stop for a picnic lunch in Tournon sur Rhone surrounded by vineyards. They spend a beautiful day cycle touring across many different kinds of bridges until they reach Valence. In Valence, they stay at the Hotel de France and stroll through the medieval winding streets of the old town (Vieux Valence). That evening they have dinner at a kebab shop, Pacha.
So to get to the peticeri, we’re going to go left pretty soon. Okay. We go straight up that path. It said this Google maps promised me this was the best way. Oh my god. Oh my god. Watch out for this uh thing on your head. Never listen to Google Maps. This is why sometimes it takes us 7 hours to get somewhere instead of five because Patrick finds these things to walk our bikes. In today’s cycle route, we begin in Sablan, cycle along the Varona, Uvello 17 that follows the Ron River, have lunch in Turnon Seron, and finish the ride in Valence, a total of 33 miles or 53 km. ometers. When we woke up that morning in Sublan and looked out the window, we were overcome by the beauty of the fog over the rone and the swans swimming by. It made us so excited to get on our bikes to see more of this beautiful country. But first, we had breakfast waiting downstairs. We had spent a night in the upstairs room of this house. We are having a little breakfast in the house. Orange juice, coffee, and I think she rode her bike to get a baguette this morning with some jam and butter. Very traditional. After our breakfast, we packed up our piurs, got back on our bikes, and headed out for a beautiful ride on the Varona. Hello. Music. We are in turnon to non as Patrick no Patrick tells me just vineyards up these hills and old ancient architecture. You see the right here? You see? Okay. Okay. Okay. Here we are in Valenc. Um, it’s a hotel. is hotel develop no hotel de France bathroom and that will definitely work. Okay, the bed, it’s very small, but it’s very functional because we even have a hot pot, which always gives us the ability to have coffee in the room. And um look at the double panes, the double windows because we are on a very, very busy street. It’s very loud out there. And um you can’t even hear the traffic. It’s awesome. Our hotel was well situated in the heart of Valance. We went out exploring and to eventually find dinner. This modern piece of artwork gave me a double take. Okay, Patrick, what’s this building in front of us called? This is called the Meison Deet or the House of Heads. It’s from 1530 it was built and it’s now owned by the town of Val Valance and that’s a museum inside but it’s closed right now. Okay. So, it’s kind of a gothic. It’s a flamboyant Gothic house. Um, and you can see there’s a lot going on. It’s pretty cool. That evening we had dinner at Patcha, a kebab shop. Patrick was so intrigued with how they were making the kebabs that he filmed it. message. We are in a kebab restaurant. We got kebabs. It’s good, right, Patrick? I think we had to have a kebab. Yeah. I, you know, not the first thing you have to have, but maybe by the end of 5 weeks, you should have had a kebab. Okay.
