France

Had a dither of where to go next in the search for services for Dave, they are few and far between unless you want to pay for parking. We opted for Sommières which didn’t quite go to plan.

Managed to find parking on the roadside at the outskirts of the historic city of Nîmes. 5 hours of walking later I think we’ve seen quite a bit, read on.

Kay drove today to Vers Pont du Gard which is within walking distance of the Pont du Gard. Good walk on the GR63 for about an hour passing ruins of the viaduct. Quite a sight when you think it was built 2000 years ago.

Not a lot of interest today. Did some washing at the Intermarché at Carpentras and dried it at another Intermarché 3 miles down the road! Serviced Dave at Sarrians, it’s free and stopped briefly at Orange centre. We’re now just on the outskirts of Orange for the night.

Lots of rain overnight but clear skies this morning apart from the top of Mont Ventoux which is covered in a blanket of cloud. Kay drove for about 30 minutes to Ville-sur-Auzon so we could cycle the Gorges de la Nesque.

Well we made it to the top of Mont Ventoux on our electric bikes but it didn’t quite go as planned.
