Nyons market day

 Sunday 13/08/23

The beautiful single-arch bridge was built in the 1300's and sits 18m above the river Aigues.

Our closest large village is Nyons, which was first populated by a Gallic tribe in the sixth century BC.  It has a lovely ancient Roman bridge across the river into the old town and, in summer, has market days on Thursdays and Sundays.

The lovely chapel built on the keep of the medieval castle

We had already seen how busy the markets can get so we made our way in, bright and early, and had a lovely walk around the narrow lanes before the market was in full swing.

We're really enjoying having a car and the Duster is great fun to drive.  The SatNav is still taking some getting used to...

Although the Duster is a very capable 4x4, we thought it
prudent not to follow the Satnav route up the stairs...

One of the routes we took into the mountains - we would have struggled in Bokkie

The weather remains glorious and sunny - long may it last!
