The European Chronicles 2023.2 - Colmar and Leysin

French and Swiss Postcards

I swear, not photoshopped. 😄. That's Leysin.

But first, to Colmar, France.

Relive 'To Colmar'

Mia has a buddy at Stefan's

The route gets good when you hit France and the Parc Natural des Vosges du Nord.

Nice mural at a sports arena.

France is very fond of these little "one at a time" zig-zags entering and leaving towns. Nice way to slow the traffic.

Damn, this road was A LOT of fun. 😇

"Turn around when possible." Time for a re-plot.

The French exotic carmaker Bugatti has its headquarters in Molsheim, which is "on the way" and their website makes it sound like you can visit...let's find out.

Nope, locked up tight...at least for mere mortals.

I expect you get to visit if you're picking up a Chiron.

In case you'd like to know more: Bugatti Molsheim

The Novatel, right in the old section of Colmar; Mia goes in the Bat Cave, with dedicated Moto parking, and I set out to explore on foot.

Welcome to the Jungle Room. 😂

Head left from the hotel and you're in the old town in one block.

Tasty R6 estate with some old building behind it. 😎

A canal runs through Colmar, and the area is called Petite Venise

Narrow Streets Of Cobblestone

In case that one is blocked in your country...😂

Car Art

And those cobblestones...one at a time, on a curve, just like in centuries gone by...

Dinner

Getting better every minute...

The next day is looking a bit wet...trying to find a destination on the way to Savona, Italy that will be dry. Leysin, Switzerland looks like a maybe. Was there in 2019, beautiful little town, but there's a big swath of green on my way...
