Saint-Christophe-sur-Dolaison

Awake to rain on me bonce, doh think much to it after all the sun we've had. Anyway they have a lazy morning and the forecast is spot on by 1pm all is dry again. So they hop on their bikes and pedal along the river to the town, known as the Venice of Provence. The Sorgue splits, and flows right around the town effectively making it an island with lots of bridges. Waterwheels are everywhere. some of them are turning with the flow of the River Sorgue. There are other inlets as well giving a nice feel to the town with restaurants lining the river, and the whole town is virtually traffic free, so all in all very pleasant. There are art galleries everywhere to poke around inside, and the centre square church is the stand out building of the town.
An obligatory beer was had before a peddle back along the river.
Well tomorrow we start the long journey north back home, but we are breaking the trip down into small stages each day, well, we are still on holiday!Read more
