We have been indulging in too much wine and good food. Time to burn off some calories. So while the Napoleon cruises to its next dock at Verdun-sur-le-Doubs, we hopped on the bicycles and set off on a 20km ride across the Burgundy countryside. Great, deserted roads for bicycling, even if it is on beach cruisers with foot brakes and no gears. Passing the many fields of sunflowers, we were compelled to take some photos. 
A few impressions of the Burgundy countryside: 1) It seems like no one gets up very early to go to work. 2) Every town, no matter how small, has at least one bakery. 3) Everyone walking down the street has at least two baguettes under their arm. To use as clubs for protection? I think not. For eating with fresh jam while drinking French press coffee all morning? Absolutely.
