| FRANCE 2008: Trip
Report |
|
|
We were visiting my brother and
his wife in Marseille. On the first day we took a ferry
to the islands of Frioul. The weather was fine and
the islands are beautiful, we explored the extensive
network
of second world war gun emplacements.
|
 |
| On the second day we took the bikes
on the local bus to Aix-en-Provence.
There was no problem putting our bikes into the storage
racks on the bus.
We were cycling around the Montagne Sainte-Victoire,
made famous by Cezanne's paintings.

in Provence around Montagne Sainte-Victoire (use

The road was rather fairly busy
until we turned off onto the back roads at Vauvenargues
where we stopped for lunch. Picasso bought the Chateau
de Vauvenargues in 1958. He is also buried
there. They don't encourage visitors.

We arrived back in Aix as the light
was fading and the cycling holiday complete.
Next year, Switzerland. |
