A little bit of Soul

June 25th

Today we rode along the peaceful Doubs River from Baume les Dames to Besancon for about 40km and took the train back to our car.  The trail along the river is smooth for the most part but there are a few times the route takes you along a small road and/or through a little village.

The Soul Kitchen is a little restaurant run by Mathieu who puts on an incredible one man show with delicious and authentic French cuisine clearly homemade with love, excellent wine and great service.  For only 32 Euros you get an amazing meal of either the traditional menu that features beef burgundy or his special menu of the day.  We decided to have one of each and mine was a totally vegetarian menu that was outstanding.  The wine was a wonderful Cote du Nuit Chardonnay and was very reasonable as well.
