I was happy to see there are bike lanes in Tours, but they were very narrow. The bike symbol was all crunched together.

After that we moved on to the Chateau de Vaugrignon for an apperitif with Champagne on the terrace of the chateau.

There we later had a very nice dinner with excellent food and drinks before the place was turned into a dance floor and we partied until sunrise.

We then went on towards the city of Tour. Along the way the kilometer counter of the car went from 99999km to 100000km 🙂
