Coffee, half-way through an amazing ride.
The roads are very narrow, and French drivers go fast, but it is hard not to keep looking at the view. The lavender is now at full colour.
Vinsobres from the top of the hill.

The road we pedalled
Dinner at a restaurant near Vinsobres. We went with another couple, and everyone had to guess the exact time of sunset.
Val won, but that's just local knowledge and the fact that we had to use her watch
After dropping Adam off in Avignon, we went to Rousillon, the ochre centre of France. The whole town is built with bricks and cement which use this pigment.

We drove back through the Dentelles, a striking mountain range.
A musical night in the village. The brass band recital was followed by a bring-your-own-food feast. Got home about 1 a.m. having conversed with the locals all night. They were very confused, but I think it was just their accent.
Just like Hollywood
Ready for the concert
French drivers don't seem so intent on killing cyclistes.
ReplyDeletePaul at the concert, did you get the chance to tinkle the ivories yourself?
I just wanted to post another comment relating to envy but I won't.
ReplyDeleteI would like to know how far Paul and Claire rode.
Was there a Great Hill of Vinsobres? A Col de Claire?
