France is continuing to bewitch us with the most fantastic scenery. After a very relaxing weekend in Lisle (as an added bonus there was a microlight airfield across the river so I got to watch them buzzing overhead on Sunday) we headed off this morning.
The route looked a bit like a knotted Slinky in places so we weren't sure what to expect, however the roads were quite good as we climbed up through the hills and down into valleys with dramatic scenery along the way. Unfortunately the photo's don't do it justice as we weren't able stop to get proper pics. We then joined the A75, a large dual carriageway and dropped dramatically down off the escarpment.
We have stopped in the village of Lodève, in a parking lot opposite the Gendarmerie - there don't seem to be many aires in this area. We had a quick walk around the village but were a bit put off by a dusty wind blowing a gale around us. We found a water fountain in town so went back to Bokkie to collect one of our large water bottles and headed back. We took a different route back and found the entrance to the cathedral so popped in for a look, it was amazing!

Tomorrow we need to tackle Montpellier and then will begin to work our way along the Med towards Nice for the end of the month.
