Sarah: Bitche, France is another place we motorcycled to frequently while living in Germany. Bitche is a very small town with tons of history. This map shows one of the routes we took to Bitche.
Christopher: This was an easy day trip for us (many times). It was really neat to cross the border and see the signs change, as well as the scenery. Like Sarah said, a lot of history. On this route, we’d drive by the Maginot Line (terrific idea!), and end up at this neat fortification in Bitche. If you visit, take the audio tour…it’s actually an audio and olfactory tour. Every room you go into is scented (some quite strongly) to really make you feel like you’re there.
Mileage: 148 km/92.0 mi round trip– about 3 hours: 2005-2006
