March 30th Arles to Salon de Provence

Unbelievable how just a few kilometres and suddenly the whole feel has changed, the beauty of Provence. As a truck drove past carrying it's load of oregano the smells and sights of Provence intoxicate you. Could sound overdramatic but it really is one of our favourite places in the world. Coffee stop in Fontvielle, a stunning unspoilt village just ten km, if that, from Arles. Would have looked for a place to stay there if we had known. The pretty villages continued with lunch stop at Maussanne-les-Alpinnes. Gentle rolling countryside, laden with olive groves and flanked to the north by granite mountains (there I go again!) But truly a lovely days cycling. Night in Selon falling asleep to the sound of someone gaming next door - bet you thought I was going to say the sound of cicadas, that's where the romantic talk ends.
