11 MAY : PARIS - SOLOGNE

On Thursday the 11th of May, our two charming adventurers, Clémence and Lisa, jumped into the second edition of the Django Adventure : A 50 day journey riding their mythic Django scooters. They left behind the Parisian capital for a 3000 km road-trip, during which they will take the time to tame their new rolling friends : The Django.

From beautiful French roads until the arid coastal Moroccan ones, going through hot paths of Spain, nothing will stop them! The departure will take place at the Salon de l’Aventure Peugeot, located Avenue de la Grande Armée, Paris, in the presence of the partners of the adventure, journalists and relatives of both our heroines. The sun was starting to shine on Paris when they started their vehicles to target their first step : the mythic oenological city of Bordeaux. For their first night they stopped in Sologne, a region of France known for hunting and its lakes. They had the opportunity to sleep in a very atypical hotel : "Gites Insolites de Sologne"made-out of see-through “bubbles” set up in the forest. When sleeping there you have the chance to be as near as possible to nature, experiencing its noise and smell during the night. Unfortunately a storm came this night and Clemence and Lisa spent the night in a wood hut where the view on the forest was definitely not that bad !
