August 12, 2025,🇫🇷nach Salers entlang Vallee de Maronne, Fontanges mit Monolith- Kapelle,

Just a short ride today. I cycled to Salers and explored the little town.
Many historic buildings and beautiful winding alleys.
On the way back, I discovered the Monolith Chapel in Fontanges by chance. An extraordinary chapel.
Over the hill back to the campsite
