January 27 to 28, 2007 Me, myself and my new steed! Elevation gain: flat Distance: 200 km Why: « J’pètais les plombs à Paris! » After 30km of hideous and polluted Parisien outskirts I arrive in Auvers-sur-Oise where Van Gogh did some of his last paintings. Van Gogh's famous painting in the Musee d'Orsay in Paris.  Notice the resemblance to the previous picture? Vincent Van Gogh and his brother Theodore. Gotta love France!!! A random chateau. Sunday morning in the woods, with owls and rodents for bedfellows. Entering Dieppe.  Blech!!! Woohoo!  Made it.  Ok, it's bloody cold, I'm outta here. Dieppe beach on August 19th, 1942 after 3000 of 5000 Canadian soldiers were killed or captured in a totally pointless attack on the Germans (photo from Wikipedia.org). Dieppe.  Did I mention ugly??? Eglise Saint-Jacques de Dieppe.
