Some answers

1. The Pont d'Avignon is shown in the blog. Nowadays (since about 1600 and something) it only goes half-way across the Rhone. See the blog on Avignon.

2. Cycling is pretty safe on French roads. Any motorist hitting a bike rider gets a mandatory goal sentence.

3. Claire and I cycled about 25 km. With round the bay coming up, I'm now doing about 25 km each day, while the others play tennis. Fantastic rides around the village, and the only decision to make is whether to climb the mountain at the beginning or the end of the ride. All the rides are through vineyards and lavender fields, and Le Ventoux looms around every corner.

4. Didn't get to play with the band as they didn't have a keyboard. The very nice leader promised that next time we returned, they would get one.

5. Major French gaffe. We had to pick up the hire car at the railway station in Orange. In the car park, I asked a very surprised French lady "Il y a une guerre pres d'ici?
