A tour along the Cèze


Gordon did some more washing this morning and I had to fix a little leak in the airbed!  After that we drove to Bagnols sur Cèze for lunch at a nice restaurant called Dap’s and we had a wander around the pretty town. 
 
After lunch we went to La Roque sur Cèze, a real picture-postcard little village up a hill.  Cars are not allowed there so we had parked by the river at the bottom of the hill.  While there we walked along to the Cascades de Sautadet.  A part of the Ceze that a lot of people were enjoying as it was a really hot day.  There were some big rocks and some very choppy water flows.  Most people seemed to be ignoring the swimming ban.

After that stop we drove up to Les Concluses – another interesting site on the Ceze where there are huge natural holes in the river bed.  There is also a portaille where the sides of the valley almost meet.  We walked about 2km there in the incredibly hot weather.

On the way back to the campsite we got a bit of shopping and then came back to the campsite for a wash and then dinner at the snack bar.  Tomorrow is the trip to Switzerland to see my cousin Penny and her family.
