This is our current base. We have done a little exploring of the area, a mixture of tourism, agriculture and industry. The river Rhone has a strong influence on the area and some of you will associate it with very good wines. In a sense our journey as been to follow it until it enters the med, the Camargue. More on that later.
As part of our exploring we drove into some small towns, one, the name of which we do not know, was in the process of closing off streets with large strongly built metal barriers. Not your average crowd barriers. We ended up in a side street that was so narrow we could not negotiate the corner in the Kia. That’s narrow.
After a few attemps to find our way out, which we did with some local help, we figured what was going on, they were getting ready for a bull run. We decided that we did not want to witness that and moved on.
Traffic calming, in this part of France they have a little trick up their sleeve. In addition to speed humps they have hollows, a kind of inverted speed hump which doubles as a drain, yes you read correctly. Crafty beggars.
