Champs de Bataille, 1914-1916

After the war, the decision was made to plant a few million trees to cover the destruction. Most of these trees started in the 1920s and continue to propagate naturally.

You must be aware that the area contains an estimated 80,000 unburied French and German soldiers as well as the countless unexploded munitions.

La route Richard Coeur de Lion

The last ride south of the Loire

1200-roadkill — Roadkill is what cars do. The ultimate killing machine

1200-ruins — Discovering the old Chateau de Res. Whatever is left of it.

1200-ruins-2 — THere used to be a waterway under the chateau. A very smart design, there is a lake nearby. It was easy to connect it to the chateau with a small canal.

1200-tires — I’ve always used the Marathon tires. Even though they are not as fast as the sleek Kojaks, the Marathons are super strong and super reliable.

1200-vertical-journet — One of the last sunny evenings at Journet

1200-vieu-pont - Copy — The View Point at Montmorillon

1200-yger-geminini — ‘Life is like riding a bicycle. To keep your balance, you must keep moving.’

1200-oiling-brompton The Brompton must be oiled for the winter. Until the next year it’s going to be stored folded and greased.

The least exciting part of travel

It takes the whole day to travel from LT to Montmorillon (bike), from Montmorillon to Poitiers (TER), from Poitiers to Gare Montparnasse (TGV), from Montparnasse to Gare du Nord (Metro), from Gare du Nord to Charles de Gaulle (RER), from Charles de Gaulle to Hyatt (hotel shuttle). When you step into your room your are already exhausted

The Greta Garbo arrives from LA three hours later than expected. So we have to wait for almost 5 hours until they prepare her for the return flight to Los Angeles

Meanwhile, I notice something new: a praying room for believers, presumably moslem. As it’s next to the “Toilets” I see an Arab man washing his feet in the sink (same sink where you wash your face and hands)

Finally, we are on the way to LA
