Leaving the buzzing river town of Saint Martin d’Ardeche, I had a long day to Viviers on the banks of the Rhone River. Like the previous few days, the terrain was less than spectacular. The first 27km to the village of Saint Montan was again on boring dirt roads through the dry and shrubby hills … Continue reading Saint Martin d’Ardeche to Dieulefit
Villefort to Saint Martin d’Ardeche
Villefort to Les Vans was my last day in the Cevennes National Park, and while the park was amazing I was looking for a change.

The locals were gardening in the central vegetable gardens, and … Continue reading Fagairolles to Le Vigan

I stopped for a few minutes to watch the boats go through the locks before continuing on through the … Continue reading Carcassonne to Fagairolles
