From Roanne to Valence

18:55 mareku 0 Comments

We got up very late because of the very extensive and late dinner we had the evening before at Troisgros. First stop is the Couvent de la Tourelle, a convent masterpiece by the architect Le Corbusier for the Dominican order. It is being restored right now, so we couldn't visit the complex itself. The setting on a hill is beautiful - the "rooms" for the monks very, very small and simple...
Via Vienne (with its great Roman Temple) and Lyon we rode along the Rhône to Valence were we stay at Michel Chabran. (a few stars less - but very nice as well we hope...)
