After exploring Utrecht, Antwerp, Cologne and Basel, the final leg of the Great InterRail Adventure saw Richard packed off to
Valence, a beautiful Rhoneside town in the south of France.
Valence is renowned for its acres of green space, and is easy to explore by bicycle thanks to the innovative hire stations dotted all over town – just slot in your credit card and off you go. Richard followed his breakfast at the
Hotel de France with a two-wheeled tour of the old town and beyond with local guide Stefan.
The pair wheeled their way over to Le Parc Jouvert and L’Epiviere – France’s oldest river Marina – then stopped for lunch at
Un Tablier Pour Deux, a wonderful organic restaurant with an emphasis on all things local to Valence.
After dropping off his bike – and hopefully picking up a beret, the fifth and final item on the souvenir challenge – Richard caught a high speed
TGV train up to Lille, before heading across the channel for some much needed rest. Well done Richard – your mission is now complete!
We’ll be posting details about how to win Richard’s wonderful collection of keepsakes in the next couple of days, and in the meantime, you can visit his
greentraveller website to read some fantastically insightful Green Guides to all of the places he’s visited over the past week.
Has Richard’s trip inspired you to start planning your own InterRail adventure? Multi-Country passes start at just £150. Find out more with our
handy guide.

Hôtel de France for their support!
