It had rained all afternoon the day before but when we got up on Tuesday 27th January Ann took a few pics. Our overnight stop at Besancon was pleasantly situated by the river Doubs.

However between us and the river was the tram line. The trams made a very strange noise as they went by - no engine noise at all - just the noise of the wheels on the rails.

We left Besancon and travelled north over the Plateau de Haute Saone mainly on minor roads passing through many small snowy villages.

The roads however were clear of snow all along the way.

We stopped at the village of Goncourt and had a wander round

Goncourt has this nice parking place by the river but we decided to move on.

We parked for the night next to the Marne-Saone Canal in the town of Joinville between Chaumont and St Dizier.
