Sun 22nd
After a walk up the river to see the
viaduct stretching across above the town, we packed up and headed for the Tarn
Gorge.

Millau - old & new bridges
Magnificent is the best word I
can use to describe it. The sides in many places are vertical and tower above
you with huge pillars of rock protruding upwards. The road was very narrow in
places but thankfully there was no traffic for us to cause a logjam for! The arches carved out of the rock were very
narrow in places but we squeezed through, no doubt helped by Tina holding her
breath until we popped out the other side!
What a wonderful drive, we must come back when the weather is warmer.
Tarn Gorge - van view!
tight in places
duck !
hamlet - cable car access
Our stopover was at Mende, the free aire is
right by the river next to a weir and a lovely old bridge. We enjoyed a
walkabout in the ancient maze of streets surrounding the huge cathedral. What a
nice town to visit with a nice calm atmosphere.

Picture 7 is Fab. Real 'calendar quality'. Love it.
