Matthew cycling along the canal towpath as we cycle into Dijon, and me looking out at the lake next to our Dijon campsite.
Matthew window shopping - we saw this Spongebob teeshirt and were very charmed/amused by the French name for him, "Bob l'Eponge" (Bob the sponge)
Our next stop, Dole - a pretty and ancient city with lots of water running through
Swimming!! We have been stopping for swims constantly to help us battle through the heat. Matthew in particular has a habit of jumping into any bit of water we are riding along, often with clothes on to help keep cool for longer.
The two pretty ponies on the left were standing like this strategically, each flicking flies off the face of the other with its tail. Clever! We noticed they had a donkey paddock mate who was not in on the scheme, but standing alone under a tree with flies all over his face. We felt sorry for him so gave him some carrot and brushed the flies from his poor face. Then Matthew gave him one of his mint & eucalyptus sweets and he absolutely loved it but I thought we better not give him any more. (Party pooper.)
One of the lovely painted canal boats. Lots of them are painted pretty colours and have plants all over the tops like this one.
Some shots of Belfort - on the right is "le lion" who is defending Belfort from the wall of the citadel
