Thanks loved it, your level of fitness and energy put me to shame 😂💪🏻🚴♂️
Thanks @stevez5252 - no shaming intended! Glad you enjoyed it, thanks for watching.

Chalon-sur-Saône is fabulous. That was definitely one of my favourite stops. I wish I could've stayed there longer.
Agree with you there - good chandler too close by 👍
Great video. Watching with envy being stuck here in Vancouver. Curious as to your length of stay. What was your visa arrangement...CDS or a bilateral extension?
Thanks for watching 😊
We’re restricted by Schengen rules and work around the 3 month limit. Used to be so
Much easier before Cameron decided to ask people on the street about non-street stuff 😢
@@sailingoptions Thanks for your reply...I guess my confusion is that in the episode you say that you've been traveling for 120 days. How did you manage this?
@@FBGbarge Fair question… we split the journey up by leaving Options and returning home for winter.
1st stage to Port Ilon 2020
2nd stage to Decize 2021
3rd stage (yet to be published ) Port Napoleon 2022.
We also left Options for short periods in a couple of other places to return home for family commitments.
We wanted to take time to soak in the journey rather than cramming it into 3 months. Since then France now offers a 6 month tourist visa-which we have for 2023. The paperwork used a forest to complete 😱
Have you looked into the 6 month option?
@@sailingoptions yes, we're planning on 6 months for 2024 but as Canadians we were planning on taking advantage of the bilateral agreement with France (and several other EU member states) for the 90 day extension on top of our usual 90 day Shengen allowance.
And yes, we're well aware of the French penchant for red tape and paperwork ;-)
