Chablis

my camp site at the end of my 2nd day. An excellent municipal camp site on the river

Chablis

End of 2nd day. Camping in Chablis

Chablis

The best route from here is to follow the river Serein. I didn't because of a lot of diversions in the area of the town of Chablis. The river route is much better than the route I took to Noyers

Chablis

End of 2nd day. An excellent municipal camp site

L'Isle-sur-Serein

End of day 3. Camping in this village

L'Isle sur Serein

End od day 3 Camping by the river Serein. simple but good municipal site

Continue on D36

D36

précy-sous-Thil

end of day 4. Camp site

Précy-sous-Thil

The camping is an open area below the Hotel de Ville and no real security. But there was no problem from local yobs!

This road going East is a very very stepp hill for abouy 1 km! I pushed up the whole thing

End of hill!

D36

Camping Le Lac de Panthier

Stayed here 2 nights 7, 8 June 2007

Cross the D33

This is the beginning of about 5 kms of undulating and at times very stepp road which seemed interminable on a very hot day

After the long hard uphill this is the beginning of a 6 kms downhill swoop into Beaune!

Beaune

Good camping municipal close to a good town.

Givry

Start of the Voie Verte to Macon

Cormatin

Camping Municipal. Not very much shade -- but I endured a torrential thunder storm here anyway!

Le Voisinet

End of the Voie Verte. Well it was for me. The track deteriorated into a rough stoney track so I left it!

camping Municipal Creches sur Saone

Camping Municipal Anse

Lyon

Note that this point here was under huge reconstruction and was very dangerous

Note the D12 gets lost here and becomes a very very busy "Route Peripheral"

camping Municipal St Clair du Rhone

A site with a huge amount of shade -- too much really -- bu tit was suffering a bit from being very soggy due to heavy rains

Tain L'Hermitage

Camping Municipal -- very expensive for not a lot. But clean and good help from the staff!

Cruas Camping

A totally residential site that was not very welcoming! Not recommended for cyclists!

Chateauneuf-du-Rhone

I stopped for a sunday morning cup of coffee here and an excellent Boulangerie/Patisserie!

camping Municipal Mondragon

Very helpful staff but a very basic site on a hillside with very stoney terraces. Sanitaire a bit basic -- but clean

Orange

I fiund it was the home of Georges Brassens! Nice town -- very "Roman"

Roquemaure

Coffee and Pastis for late elevenses. I eventually returned here from Avignon to do my shopping in a LIDL

Camping les 2 Rhones

Fair grotty privsate camping but I set up in a large field away from the permanent shacks!

I leaft the Rhone here for the last time!

Nimes

I had decided not to go into Nimes and I followed the ring road as you can see, I was straight forward but a bit "exposed" at times. It was also a very hot day!

from here on the route was good and traffic free!

Camping Municipal Sommieres

good but basic camp site, Beatiful town with a long history. Well worth staying an extra day

Camping Canet

Huge camping which was only half open. Swimming pool and lots of fresh apricots around my tent! Canet is a very very boring town!!!

Liausson

Stayed here with Neil ( from school and army days) and Pauline

Pézenas

Very busy town with a huge traffic problem -- but I got through it quicker on my bike!

I got lost a bit round here -- well not really the road i followed disappeared into a track for about 2 kms! But I finished up in the right place!

Camping Villeneuve-les-Beziers

camping La Nautique

Narbonne
