We and our relatives visit today a Michelin recommended restaurant with exceptional food relaxing before exploring the nearby town

The major attraction today is the impressive Roman museum of Vienna with scores of mosaics and the extensive outdoor ruins of the major Roman city

Today our plan is to explore Vienne a historic town located on a major Roman site which also holds Pontius Pilate’s tomb if legends are to be trusted

Before our relatives arrive we spend the afternoon exploring the huge and very popular Cerdon caves which is quite an exhausting undertaking

Cremieu is the largest town near our AirBnB and is a surprisingly famous one with multiple castles, churches and good food

We base ourselves with our relatives for almost a week in Leyrieu a small charming village with lots of hiking opportunities and old buildings

Last major stop today is the enchanting and romantic Chateau de la Roche sitting in the middle of the Loire in a beautiful location

Our third stop is Pet d’Ane the largest meander of the Loire where we enjoy the views before having a picnic from our provisions

Our second stop is the abbey village of Ambierle anchored by the large abbey complex on the top of the hill

First stop today is in the enchanting village of character Le Crozet with a small but very picturesque old village center and an impressive church
