March 31, 2023,049 🇫🇷 Lothringen | ⛺️ bei Rouvres-la-Chétive - Contrexéville
Weather is Ronald-like. Definitely not for everyone. I weather the thunderstorm(!) in the morning in my 5* straw castle. In general, I would have liked to have stayed here a little longer.

Lots of storm-driven rain on the way.
At the end a mini bathtub. With the right folding technique, however, I can moisten almost any part of the body …

Well rested, I set off from Châtenois to Contréxéville today.
The weather was very nice again today—although not very warm, it was sunny and perfect for hiking.
The landscape was also more beautiful today than yesterday. Furthermore, the route wasn't as strenuous, and there were no extreme climbs. I took a short break in Auzainvilliers to get the town stamp …
