Looks like a nice place, alright. Unfortunately it was closed Sunday night, as was nearly everything else. We were happy to find a bar/pizzeria.

Ours too, of course. We hit the jackpot, and got both.

You could, but you can’t. It almost fits that way, which we’ve often done, but not. I think it would have gone if I removed the handlebars, but folding was easier.

Or you could remove panniers, tip the bike up on its rear wheel and head on up.

We ate a good dinner at this deli after our day ride to Pont du Gard in November 2011. Glad it's still here!

Great to hear from you, Eva! Strangely enough, Rachael and I were talking about you over dinner last night, reminiscing about how much we enjoyed our visit in Nelson.

You were here in November also? Twice? I’ve really been surprised at how much I’ve enjoyed seeing this country so late in the year, but we’ll see how long it lasts. It was quite cold and damp today.

Thanks for checking in. Keep warm, keep dry.

Asparagus! I've been wondering if that's what was growing in the fields you have photographed! This confirms it!

So glad you got to Pont du Gard on your travels through southern France. We've cycled to the Pont on two separate tours, both times in November, and feel very lucky to have enjoyed the amazing sight when hardly anyone else was there. The second time we toured the museum, and agree with you that it is definitely worth visiting. Thanks for keeping up your detailed journal with the great photos. We look forward to reading it every day, and you've given us lots of ideas for future tours.

It is for me as well. Every one we pass warms my heart, and seems somehow different than the one before, it’s wonderful seeing them in a different season for the first time.

A rural road lined with plane trees is, to me, a symbol of France. I never tire of them.

They do remind you of the arbutus (we called them madronas down in the States), don’t they. Their patchiness is so suggestive, like cloud patterns or ink blots. If you look hard enough, you can see clouds or people in them.

We also love the bark of the plane trees. Very similar to our Arbutus trees here.

Never enough Plane trees, unless they are on the despicable Canal du Midi (not their fault the track is so bad, though.)
