Say Grampies - is there no general guestbook for the blog that I can post on? This seems an odd place to say Happy Birthday!!
uh - HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAD!

Looks pretty iffy to me too!
6 years agoYou might look at our tour from last fall also, and maybe learn from our mistakes: navigation getting in to Sete from the east is a bit tricky. See https://www.cycleblaze.com/journals/sete2017/to-sete-end-of-the-line/
Also, if you’re up for a bit of a splurge when you get to Sete, I recommend Hotel Orque Bleu.
Thanks for the info, one of us was getting anxious about it. Yes, the ornithological park is on the to see list. The Camargue is a really special place and we are really looking forwad to our trip through it.
6 years agoDefinitely take the tiny path by the sea. We rode in from Saintes Marie’s to the Gacholle Lighthouse on our tour last fall (https://www.cycleblaze.com/journals/sete2017/at-aigues-mortes-the-camargue/). It’s a great ride, and the path is fine for bikes except for a few sandy spots. On the next day, be sure to stop in at the ornithological Park - it was a real highlight of the tour.
Will you be stopping at Aigues-Mortes too?
Yay, Roussillon! I agree - it’s really the best of the villages. If/when we ever make it back to the Luberons I want to spend the night there.
6 years agoWell, get on it then !
6 years agoThat's sweet. We'll look forward to it!
6 years agoAck! I gotta get the Seattle crew to represent!
6 years agoBoooooooooooo. Also in honour of you being “near” Avignon, I’ve assigned Violet to learn Sur La Pont on her flute, serenade in your future!
6 years agoWe agree. We are thinking for the day after tomorrow, since the rail trail back to Cavaillon should be a dawdle, we might at least go from Apt to Roussillon. Getting to Gordes might be something else again. Stay tuned. ..Can you tell us anything about the roads? Your advice should be good, since like us you are not allowed on the high traffic ones!
6 years agoSo close! If it’s not too late to look at the route again, swing past Gordes and go to Roussilon.

Thanks for the HB wishes. No general guestbook, but if you want to send a private message you can always email. Today will be the Market in Arles and then heading off into the Camargue. White horses, black bulls and flamingoes, oh my.
