The most remarkable part of the day was my long desired but long put off to the Buffalo Grill and later watching England get knocked out of this years World Cup. The former more of a high point if I'm honest.

Day 5. Dijon to Noyon
Back road France. A few miles, kilometres, ridden. A stop. A coffee. A few more miles. A few breaths of air. The day went on like that. Chats with those that will.
Day 4. Evian to Dijon
Two foods, if you include mineral water, in one title!
We started the day with a jaunt down to the lake Geneva waterfront for a walk and coffee and croissant. Funny how in a country that does coffee and croissants beautifully it's quite difficult to find places that offer the two together. It was lovely weather and we had planned a relativity easy day on the bikes. The problem with that can be that you fart about a bit and take longer than you should.
We rode out from Evian and westish around the lake when I noticed a rather nice looking cable car. Got to be worth a look I thought. You're not getting me on that! Bryan suggested. Little persuasion was required though and soon we were enjoying the trip up and then the view out over lake Geneva as well as the site of para gliders leaping off the edge of the mountain we'd come up. A stunning site and something I think I might have to give a go this year.
The day warmed as we continued west then north until we arrived in a very warm Dijon. The thermostat reading 89f as we pulled into our upgraded Ibis budget hotel, with aircon. Worth the extra few pounds each given the heat.
