Neuf-Brisach - Strasbourg

Reported by Dipavajan Renner 127.0 km

Welcome back to France! We entered the country coming from Basel and enjoyed a serene run through the Alsace-region along the river Rhein.

We reached Neuf-Brisach and a group of runners awaited us...

..we reached the local school.

The kids gave us a happy welcome!

...everybody had ideas about peace...

...teachers got punishment...

...and we all passed the torch...

..I got all the stamps!

...a run around the school yard...

..getting ready for the group picture. It took a while...

Thank you Neuf-Brisach for the enthusiastic welcome!

The city is located around an old fortress built by the famous military architect of Louis XIV, Vauban...

What would be France without cheese?

...a warm welcome along the road (as well as a treat for coffee)

...our last km's towards Strasbourg we ran along one of France's countless scenic canals.
