I saw roads like this in Brittany and thought they were great. They were low-traffic (low motorized traffic, that is) and the impression was that bikes had priority. I suspect they formerly had a centreline with two narrow lanes and no shoulder and we've all experienced drivers who will not move over when passing cyclists, even though the other lane is empty.

55 years! You're both lucky duckys. Congrats!

I’m glad you are enjoying yourselves so much!

Thanks Jo, we look forward to seeing you in a week and a half.

Thanks Rich. We thought they were so pretty and were seriously tempted, but fortunately we remembered the do not add weight to the bike rule, and were able to resist.

Happy Anniversary!

Oh, sorry. Those figurines are called “santons”. It’s a Provençal thing. They’re nativity scene figures.

It is a colour very common around here. So lovely.

That blue is gorgeous

Violet and I would be all over these!

Thank you Keith. The Camargue is next on the list and after that a wee excursion into Provence.

Thank you. The meet up sure was fun.

Thanks Sue. We had such a great day.
