Day 2- St Remy to Pont du Gard

It was blowing a Hooley all night and if anything has picked up during the day, from the north of course which is the direction we have been travelling most of the day.

Set off fairly early and had breakfast at Maillane, then set off following the quiet back roads to the abbey de St Michel de Frigolet.  

Some of the back roads were unmarked dirt tracks and were quite difficult to find resulting in a wee bit of doubling back to find them.  The Abbey, like most abbeys was quite pretty but not much buzz about it, so we soon set off (on the wrong road) down to Brabentine then backtrack to Aramon for a bite to eat.

The wind was so strong when we were crossing the bridge over the Rhone that we had to get off the bikes and walk to save getting blown all over the road.

Then onwards to the Pont du Gard, which is an amazing Roman  aqueduct built 2000 years ago. we're having problems posting photos at the moment but we will hopefully get some on soon.


With any luck this link will show today's route
