Biking to Bouchemaine

Last Saturday, we took a day off and biked to a tiny nearby town, Bouchemaine.


We all woke up early and went to the Saturday market. After dropping off my treasures chez moi (strawberries, bread, avocados, peppers, apples), we met at the chateau with our bikes (loaned for free from the city of Angers).

Shannon!


We biked the entire way on a path by the river, through parks full of picnicking Frenchies and under bridges dripping with flowers.


(That picture took great skill. Please appreciate me sacrificing my safety for this blog.)


It took about half an hour to get to Bouchemaine. We stopped for galettes and fancy deserts, then headed back to Angers.


This is what France is all about!
