• Off to France - Ooh La La

    May 23, 2019 in France ⋅ ⛅ 22 °C

    Left Barcelona by coach at 8.30am. and headed East along the Mediterranean coast towards France. E T A at Arles is about 4pm. We had a comfort / coffee stop about 10 and reached Perpignan for lunch.
    Perpignan is a lovely old town with lots of narrow roads lined with little shops and cafes. Janette had a salad and I had a roll. After a stroll around town it was back on board. Another comfort stop at 3pm and dockside about 4.30pm.
    Arles looks like a picture book place, but we'll have a good look at it tomorrow.
    Boarded, got our room and unpacked just in time to head down to the meet the captain and crew and the briefing for tomorrow.
    Having done a cruise before, we knew to book into the small restaurant at the back of the ship for a degastation dinner - see photos.
    Tomorrow we get a good look at Arles.
