@ Kris; I won't post up any pics from the Vosges and Route des Cretes, as you're headed there and might not want to see spoilers. All I'll say is, you're gonna love it! |
It's fine mate, post away! Remember I don't really take many pictures so won't affect me in the slightest. |
Well, tbf, it's more like the Black Forest in that it's not so much about scenery as just riding the roads, although there are some nice views to be had.

In Metz tonight, had a quick turn around the city centre - lovely place, very lively cafe culture. |
Hmm, now I'm intrigued... Do tell... |
Calm down, calm down! All I mean is, in the evening, the city centre is almost like one big cafe/restaurant/bar; the streets are full, and I mean properly crowded, with outside seating, which was mostly packed to capacity, buzzing with conversation and laughter.
And ok then, ze French girls..... ____________________ Chickenystripgeezer's Biking Life (Latest update 19/10/18) Belgium, France, Italy, Austria tour 2016 Picos de Europa, Pyrenees and French Alps tour 2017 Scotland Trip 1, now with BONUS FEATURE edit, 5/10/19, on page 2 Scotland Trip 2 Luxembourg, Black Forest, Switzerland, Vosges Trip 2017

Highest point on the Route I think:

Couple of cafes and a hotel at the top:

I had to take a detour off the route to find fuel at one point, and discovered that other roads in the area are good fun too.
Hotel owner at Metz has impeccable taste:
