      Arles Amphitheater und Arena

      16. Mai in Frankreich ⋅ ⛅ 17 °C

      Das Amphitheater wurde Ende des 1. Jahrhunderts nach dem Modell des Kolosseums in Rom erbaut und bot den Rahmen für Gladiatorenkämpfe, die über 20.000 Zuschauer anzogen. Der mächtige Turm wurde im Mittelalter gebaut, als im Amphitheater ein befestigtes Stadtviertel entstand. Seit dem 19. Jahrhundert wird die Arena für Veranstaltungen rund um die Stierkultur genutzt.Weiterlesen

      Schudden van links naar rechts

      24. Juni 2022 in Frankreich ⋅ ⛅ 20 °C

      Al heel wat dagen weeralarm. Hittegolf en onweer, dat wordt in heel Frankrijk voor gewaarschuwd. Afgelopen nacht worden we eerst, rond middernacht, geschampt met wat regen en gedonder / geflits. Tegen drie uur is het even echt bal. Constant geflits en gebulder vergezeld met een plens regen en windstoten. De tent staat te schudden en we moeten even een flinke controle doen. Een en ander verplaatsen maar tent houdt het goed. Dan maar weer proberen te slapen. Noodweer houdt zo'n uur aan en neemt dan langzaam af. Tegen zeven uur op, alles ziet er goed uit. Tent begint goed te drogen. Even uitgebreid gepraat met andere fietsers voor we echt weer gaan inpakken.Weiterlesen

      12. Etappe Avignon- Arles

      14. Mai in Frankreich ⋅ 🌬 18 °C

      Wir haben sehr schlecht geschlafen.
      Es war schwülwarm und im Zimmer war es fast unerträglich. Fenster auf ist leider am Bahnhof auch keine gute Option.
      So sind war dann um 7:00 beim Frühstück. Machen danach aber noch ein Nickerchen. Es hat angefangen zu regnen.
      So etwa 9:30 verlassen wir Avignon. Unterwegs kommen wir an einer öffentlichen Wasserquelle vorbei.
      Dann fängt auch der Regen wieder stärker an. Wir ziehen tatsächlich unsere Regenjacken an. Aber es geht mit dem Fahren.
      In Tarascon können wir auch mal wieder eine größere Pause machen. Auch das ist wieder so ein mittelalterliches Dorf mit Stadtmauer und engen Gassen. Am Rhôneufer ist noch die gut erhaltene Burg Tarascon zu bewundern. Leider nur von Außen.
      Dann ging es fast schnurgerade neben der Bahnlinie auf einem prima Radweg nach Arles. Einziger Nachteil bei dem Regen waren auch viele Schnecken unterwegs. So ganz kleine….wir dachten erst dass es kleine Steine sind. 🤔
      In Arles angekommen finden wir zur Abwechslung eine kleine Bistroküche, wo wir mal einen Croque monsieur bekommen. Als Nachtisch essen wir noch eine Kugel Lavendel Eis.
      Das Hotel hat Birgit sehr gut ausgesucht. Nicht weit von der Altstadt und recht ruhig.
      Das Hotel hat sogar einen großen Pool und ein Whirlpool.
      In diesen gehen wir erstmal Schwimmen.
      Am Abend gehen wir in Richtung Altstadt kurz vorher bleiben wir in einem tollen Pub hängen. Wegen des kräftigen Regens bleiben wir einfach da und können auch eine Kleinigkeit (Finger Food) essen. Wir sitzen wie Waldorf und Statler an unserem Bartisch und beobachten das Treiben.
      Von dort geht es dann wieder ins Hotel!      Weiterlesen

      Now in St Gilles - first day completed!

      18. April in Frankreich ⋅ 🌬 15 °C

      We are here, we made it, we walked 21 kms, and all is well! We are so happy, it was a great day, feet a little tired, but after a beer and check into hotel we feel really good. And it is one of the chain of hotels in France where we have experienced lovely dinners, so we are hopeful!

      We set off some time before 9 am I think, and followed the route that we had worked out from Arles, but happily we found that the red and white GR signs continued well, and it was easy to follow the correct path..phew…once we were clear of Arles, it was a flat walk through pleasant countryside, partly a parc naturel, and as we approached St Gilles many vineyards, nothing spectacular…but is was perfect to be a flat walk for the first day, and we managed the 21 kms no problems.

      It was still cold, and I can’t believe it but we both wore all our layers the whole walk! There was quite a strong wind that kept us cool, which was good, and it was mostly sunny except once a cloud gathered over us and a few drops of rain came down, just for a few minutes, then back to sun. And I realised I had forgotten to unearth my hat from my bag…and I felt the sun burning my scalp!! My hair isn’t as thick as it once was…have pulled it out ready for tomorrow.

      Stopped for a lunch break about 12 - had our usual baguette, cheese, apple and chocolate…and just as well we had supplies, as the settlements we saw on the map were not villages, just farms! St Gilles is the first town we have come to…and it seems very pleasant…on a canal from the Rhone, and we crossed the Petit Rhône at one point, one of the two branches of the Rhône delta, and looked as wide as the main river we saw in Arles.

      Arrived here before 2.30 so lots of time to unwind…our room was ready and all is good.

      We have now had a reconnoiter around the town, and worked out our exit route tomorrow - avoiding a tricky GR sign, that was for the GR700 which could have set us off course! The town is just full of camino signs and markers…unlike Arles where this route officially starts, all along the pavement there are Compostelle tiles that led us to a huge church, which had an exhibit of all the French pilgrim routes (which we have taken most of them). But it is not a hugely used path…Along the route today we only saw one other couple of walkers, and quite a few cyclists. And I have decided that this constant wind is the mistral…have looked it up and this is when it blows, especially between winter and spring, and in the Rhône valley and exactly here. At least it is stopping us get hot and sweaty!

      After exploring we stopped for a coffee/chocolate at a bar, then went to a wonderful shop we’d seen with cheeses, charcuterie, wines etc all tantalisingly displayed, and had a glass of local wine. Now downtime till dinner.

      Dinner great…melty brie with salad, guinea fowl with amazing sauce, île flottante…and local red…      Weiterlesen

      nach einem ausgiebigen frühstück mit frischen baguette haben wir noch kurz das abendessen beim in shala gekauft. die viarhona war leicht zu finden und führte uns auf ein altes eisenbahntrassee. ein wunderschöner radweg durch interessante kleine häuserzeilen, rebberge, fruchthaine und durch die alten schwarzen steintunnels. einfach eine wunderschöne, gemütliche sonntagsfahrt. sie hat geendet in beaucaire inmitten des sonntagsmarktes; schon wieder. wir haben ihn genossen, ihn aber durch die schmalen nebengassen dann umfahren. die mittagspause war auf einem coolen spielpaltz, wo die kinder den eifelturm erklommen haben. das gps hat uns kurz vor schluss noch auf einen kleinen hügel gejagt, welcher dann auf dem place de la république geendet hat. dafür war der lohn die schöne kathedrale. auf dem stadtcamping angekommen, haben wir uns beeilt, damit wir so schnell wie möglich ins kühle nass konnten, um den dampf abzulassen.Weiterlesen

      Arles Hotel de Ville

      Im Rathaus befindet sich die Venus von Arles. Das Original befindet sich im Louvre, entdeckt wurde sie im römischen Theater von Arles.
      Außerdem befindet sich im Hotel de Ville der Zugang zu den Kryptoporiken. Die Gewölbegänge wurden Ende des 1. Jahrhunderts angelegt, um die natürliche Hanglange auszugleichen. So konnte in dieser zentralen Lage des Forum angelegt werden, der als öffentlicher Platz verschiedene Funktionen erfüllte.Weiterlesen

      Travel day, now in Arles

      15. April in Frankreich ⋅ 🌙 18 °C

      This won’t be long, as it’s already 10.15 and am ready to sleep, but will record a great day! We walked from our hotel to the Gare de Lyon which was part of our walk for the morning, plus our venture out for coffee, but got our train which did leave at exactly 12.13! A very comfortable 4 hour ride through the countryside, stopping at unknown towns occasionally, except Avignon which was about 20 mins before Arles.

      Knew the hotel was not too far from the station, but the map did not show that the streets were medieval cobblestone narrow ways, and we have found ourselves in such an old historic place, just lovely…there must be a modern part somewhere, and we are right beside the Rhone which is big here, getting near the mouth, but we haven’t yet walked beside it. We have 2 full days here to explore and relax, and it is a relief really to be out of the big city, and look on everyone as a potential pickpocket….

      This town is also full of Roman ruins, but not just rubble. We knew there was an amphitheatre (we are staying at the hotel de l’amphitheatre) but it is huge! Looks like Verona, or even the coliseum, but we will explore all that tomorrow. Many historic sights, and the river..

      Just back from a beautiful light dinner, Amr already asleep, and soon I will be.      Weiterlesen

      Beautiful day in Arles

      16. April in Frankreich ⋅ 🌬 19 °C

      We are having such a busy but relaxed day. It is cool surprisingly, as it was hot when we arrived yesterday, and we bundled up jackets and thought we wouldn’t be using them till we returned! But today is cool and windy and temperature staying below 20°, so I love it. Occasionally the wind blows a cloud and 2 drops of water fall (you couldn’t call it rain) and then it blows away…mostly clear blue sky and sunny…a wonderful light!

      We set off leisurely after breakfast at a little cafe, and went to the tourist office to get a ticket to see the sights…good value - one voucher for 4 monuments and one museum! Anyway, we started with the cloisters of the enormous St Trophime church…cloisters always lovely and these were good ones. Next we went on to the Roman Theatre. This is actually an amphitheatre and very impressive, with lots of columns and fallen rubble as well…but it is not to be confused with l’Amphitheatre (les arènes) which is the enormous coliseum-like structure! We have yet to have an official visit to this one.

      After the Theatre, Amr thought we should work out the walking route and find where we walk out on Thursday…always a good idea, especially at the beginning of a walk. The map showed some camino signs along a route, and GR signs, so we started looking and did work out the route, but there is never great signage in towns, we did see a few, and we were happy to work out the start. It begins with crossing the Rhône, which at this stage is huge.

      Then, walking back and along the river a bit, we came across another site we wanted to visit, the baths of Constantin…more Roman building…this city is like walking back in time, the slightly crumbling buildings, narrow streets - the only vehicles that venture in this part seem to be delivery vans, and they take up the whole width. The nice thing is that while it obviously attracts many tourists, it is a working town with real people, not just geared for tourism.

      We also popped into the Musée Réattu which was interesting… Réattu did neoclassical paintings and it has other varied more modern works…just a quiet interlude. Then we had lunch…saw a Spanish place that had tapas and was just what we felt like, small plates so we can be hungry for dinner (where we have already decided on!)…that was great..chick peas, octopus, chiperones, until Amr had to fight paying the bill…luckily Amr is on the ball, and when he said a large amount Amr queried and asked for itemised bill and he then said he thought we were a different table…a bit sus…and then had to have cash as the machine wasn’t working!!! Reminded us of Sicily! In the end, I think he charged too little in the confusion…serves him right!

      …Well, now back from dinner. After the last write up we met and went into the Amphitheatre …it is big and has metal work that at first we thought was scaffolding, but realised now it is seating, as the arena is used for bull fighting, and also concerts in the summer. Walking around in it is rather similar to the Coliseum, and there are fabulous views from the towers (that were added in the Middle Ages).

      Then Amr decided it would be good to visit Avignon tomorrow seeing we have conquered Arles, and it is a 17 minute train ride. So with that in mind he made a pilgrimage to the laundromat he had already sussed out and we are clean! (It had been planned for tomorrow, the last day). Now we are back from a really nice dinner. We had chosen 2 places for these 2 nights, and the first one was full so we booked for tomorrow, and went to the other - lovely food - Amr had the daily plat which was a chicken sausage thing with delicious sauce, and I had a cod risotto with amazing sauce and lots of vegetables through it, and a great local wine. They have wine in 500 ml bottles which is so perfect for us!

      There is another tragedy that I must report, and Peter and Simon if you read this will sympathise…Amr can’t find his hat…it is a beautiful Borsalino and we know it was in the train, so not left in Paris, but since then a blank…maybe he took it off in the church we visited yesterday, or maybe on the train….so upsetting, and he needs it for walking too..he says he’ll just use sunscreen, but I know he is mourning… Good night.

      Now a day in Avignon

      17. April in Frankreich ⋅ 🌬 17 °C

      Another cold and beautiful day and we spent it in Avignon. The weather forecast said rain in the morning in Avignon (even though cloudless here) so we put our little umbrellas in Amr’s bag, but of course it never rained! Got the train and arrived a little after 10. I had feared the station was a bit away from the hub of the town, but was right beside it, and all was easy. Headed straight to tourist information and got a map and advice, and tickets to the 2 main things we wanted to see…the Pope’s Palace and the Bridge - the famous pont d’Avignon from the song!

      Avignon is a lovely city, like a larger version of Arles, and busier and with more sightseers and buses coming to the enormous Pope’s Palace. They had moved there from Rome between the 1200s and 1500s I think (I must now read up the finer details that I missed in translation).

      Anyway, after a wander through the streets following a walk recommended on the map we went to the Palace, set high and is SO tall it is hard to photograph. Inside we went through enormous rooms, but all bare now, just impressive size, though some still had painting on the walls (but not allowed to photograph those). You get given a tablet to dangle, rather awkwardly, round your neck to scan in the rooms and it comes up with a description…much less simple than reading a sign, but being up to date I guess…so that was fun, and these buildings - there, and the Roman ruins - are giving us very good practice in climbing many stairs, and even our hotel is up 2 floors with steep stone steps, so hopefully we’ll be in good form for walking tomorrow.

      We then sat in the main square and had coffee/chocolate, and walked on to the famous bridge which was nearby. I hadn’t realised it was not a functioning bridge, but a relic to visit, but the part still standing is very handsome and restored. Building it was an ongoing process over the centuries and there were many conflicts, even wars, about who owned it and who should collect the taxes for crossing it! Quite a history. We have a photo of us both on the bridge looking towards the Pope’s palace taken by a nice Swiss woman (we have become very wary of anyone touching our phones - actually just Amr’s now, the only one)…

      After the bridge we really needed to eat so we then looked for a boulangerie, as we had already, before the palace, been to the wonderful market and bought cheese - for today, and for walking lunches. So we got a crunchy fresh baguette and ate it with some Conte in the park in the sun. Can’t believe I actually want to find a seat in the sun!! And we had fleece and jacket on all day. Quite windy as you can see from my hair standing on end in photos. We stayed there, reading kindles and content, till time for the train back.

      ….Just back from a superb dinner at a restaurant recommended by the hotel, that we booked as couldn’t get in yesterday…and tonight was also totally full by the time we left. But first on arrival back from Avignon we sorted out a bit, then had a drink at a nearby bar where the lady there remembered I wanted Campari with orange…nice to be remembered!

      Then we went to the restaurant and had such a delicious dinner…shared a salad to start, we both had a fish main - mine was salmon with soy, piquillos, cannelloni type beans, cashews..amazing combination and so good, Amr’s was another fish with equally delicious sauce - with tapenade…and we shared an apple dessert, baked, caramel, ice cream…a half litre of local red wine…all perfect.

      And another piece of good news - already the travel insurance has accepted our claim for stolen passport and phone and is paying cost…wow..excellent efficiency, and credit to Amr for getting all the required documents!      Weiterlesen
