A Day in Provence

This may not be popular but I am going to give Provence just ‘deux points’ for the cyclist in summer. I am sure that it is fine for a lazy holiday where you sit and drink wine, read a book and maybe search out an artist’s studio.

But for the energetic cyclist who has places to go it doesn’t endear itself. I have spoken about the pricey campsite. Add to this the relentless sun so that you can’t keep enough salts in you to cycle the whole day, even with supplements. So maybe the attractions are passing me by but I am going to get the train to cooler climes and find a river to cycle along. Somewhere that is more temperate. Somewhere that has a cloud.
