We started in Karlsruhe (Germany), headed over to Wissembourg and rode 450km back to Basel (Switzerland). The route we took was the paved version of the <a href="https://bikepacking.com/routes/bikepacking-france-traversee-du-massif-vosgien/">Traversée du Massif Vosgien (TMV)</a>. Even though we would have enjoyed the dirt road, our equipment was not ready. We sticked to the streets which took us from hill to village and over two passes.</p> https://janikvonrotz.ch/2019/04/24/brie-pain-et-vin-en-provence/ Wed, 24 Apr 2019 09:54:37 +0200 https://janikvonrotz.ch/2019/04/24/brie-pain-et-vin-en-provence/ <p>During the extended easter weekend I did a short trip with friends to the Provence. Despite the place is quite close to Switzerland the landscape is fairly different and unfamiliar. We lent a VW camper, drove through national parks and enjoyed the local food. Althought we only went there for four days we got mesmerized by the artistic villages and excellent vine 😉.</p>
