Monday 6th June (Page 64; L’Ile du Girard)

Mr. Kite looked out of The Joint window to see butterflies amongst the leaves. Today Mr. Kite and His Lady were heading to Parcey in the Jura.

 

In the warm sunshine Mr. Kite drove along roads and motorways to reach Parcey, passing a Red Fox on the way. Now Mr. Kite likes camping by rivers and today he parked The Joint on the banks of the River Loue. On page 64 of Wildlife Travelling Companion France by Bob Gibbons and Paul Davies they mention the confluence of the rivers Loue and Doubs and the nature reserve of L’Ile du Girard; so Mr. Kite thought he would like to see it.

First things first; Mr. Kite cycled around looking at the River Loue and the streams, brooks and waterways that flow into it. The river was shallow and Mr. Kite watched fish, heard Nightingales and looked for places to watch nature.

Eventually Mr. Kite returned to The Joint and sat in the warm sunshine enjoying a tipple of Kronenbourg. Cheers from page 64.
