2022-06-18: The Station of Savoyeux

Not to rely on Putin’s oil — and admittedly even more for comfort we originally thought of using the train to go to Savoyieux.  I found the station on google maps. What I did not find were train schedules with stops at Savoyeux station. Checking the surroundings on google maps and discovering that the track bed is filled out by trees made me even more doubtful that the station was still operational. The boat rental company confirmed this. Before going back we took the opportunity to visit our “port of  destination”  — had we arrived 30 year earlier.

 

Felix and myself felt that the “TempĂȘte de Joie” lived up to her name.

The station of Savoyeux. On the right side of the building, a sign notifying the weary traveler of the exit is still there.

Mowed meadows, hedges, patches of forest and the chirping sound of cicadas everywhere with the temperature not being too hot yet at this late morning create a feeling of relaxation …
