Medieval Morvan - Avallon

WOW WOW WOW! Wow is actually the only word we can think of when we think of the 3 rides that we have in the Morvan It really felt like we found a hidden gem! The Morvan, also called the green lungs of the Bourgogne, is a natural park with mountains, hills, forests, lakes and rivers.......and a lot of very nice twisting roads to discover it all with a beautiful motorcycle tour. And with good stops for drinks, food and a bit of sigthseeing if you want in very enjoyable medieval towns - one even more pretty than the other - we had an AMAZING time with our Medieval Morvan tour. And pssssst. let me tell you a little secret. Ride 3 was our absolute favourite!
