We didn't sleep that well, so packed up promptly and walked into town for coffee. We sat at the bar and charged phones but the connection was poor which has been the story all day. We grabbed 2 stamps at the tourist office and set off.
The walk along the river was lovely. The trail is flat and well marked and the river was full of fish.
We stopped for lunch and to air the tent near Montgesoye. There were runners and a few cyclists and canoeists but it was quieter than yesterday.
There were some good looking campsites by the river, but we needed to cover a few more km before stopping for the day.
We paused in Lods for a tea, but France, so walked on to Mouthier. It started to rain and so we weren't that upset to find the campsite in Mouthier closed. We stopped at the only hotel in town, ordered a tea and booked a room.
La Cascade Hotel - Mouthier Haut Pierre
A simple hotel with a nice restaurant and a fantastic view. Our room has a balcony and the view is spectacular.
We can hear the river, motorbikes and cow bells from our room.
The big picture
Just 2 or 3 more days in France. Still a lot of climbing to do before descending into Switzerland.
