CycleEUcapitals - Luxemburg to Paris - 3 days

Cycling to all the European Union capital cities is the basic idea of my "CycleEUcapitals" project. The rules: You start in any of the European Union capital cities and cycle to another one. Next time you continue where you stopped last time or at any point of your previous routes. You may also start at another departure point provided you close all the gaps in your routes eventually. Only once all gaps are closed, the cities count towards the goal. At the end, you will have linked all 27 EU capital cities. Depending on your routes, you will have cycled some 17 000 km. An overview of possible routes can be found in my collection "CycleEUcapitals - possible routes" here

-----This trip was from Luxemburg city to Reims and Paris - ultralight bikepacking solo on a roadbike with overnight stays in B&B or hotels. Due to a late departure on the first day, the km/day are split unevenly. I would recommend a better split to avoid the extralong distance on my last day. The heat was gruesome and as there is no shade on the route, I would recommend to wait for temperatures below 30 degrees or less. Finding water on the route is not always easy.
