Mr M had a good day, cycling around 100 miles with the wind behind him. (As I predicted!) By evening he was in the Lorraine region. He spent the night in the town of Saint Avold, 50 kms from Metz - in a hotel whose building (according to my Guide de Routard dates back to the sixteenth century. Built by the Protestant Counts de Crehange, who installed a small chapel (how an art gallery) at the back of the inner courtyard (now the dining room) so that they could practice their religion without let or hindrance. He may have been able to admire the 'sculpted keystones' and 'fine vaulted ceilings' of the former, but being Sunday, the dining room was closed, so after he called us, he was intending to set off round town looking for somewhere else to eat.
More news, and (hopefully) more cyclestuff later.
