Day 4 Avignon to Bedoin

Thankfully the wind has dropped dramatically today so the going was a lot easier although hotter. We had a straightforward run out of Avignon which is pretty unusual for us leaving a big town. Stopped off for elevenses at an excellent wee bakery in Pernes les Fontaines then onwards along a network of backroads to Carpentras for lunch. 

Carpentras was a bit of a disappointment, but not as much as the bakery we went to for lunch, it must have been about the worst in France.  The Boulongiere should have been frog marched to the town square and guillotined as a disgrace to his nation!

Anyway.... We've arrived at Bedoin, at the foot of Mont Ventoux, the campsite is brilliant with a good swimming pool and fabulous restaurant.

 The village has a great atmosphere and is full of cyclists.

Mont Ventoux looks awfy big!!!
