Aramon to Vallabregues

This entry is part 27 of 31 in the series 2017 UK and Europe
Our travelling companion L’Estello

We started the day with another breakfast cruise, this time to Vallabrègues, a pretty Provençal village on the banks of the Rhône.

Marco found a nice closed road for a few kms

Then off on the bikes again along country roads to Barbentane situated at the confluence of the Rhone and Durance rivers. This is a lovely old village has the remains of a castle, a watchtower, narrow streets, ramparts and gates.
