Day 11: Avignon to Aix-en-Provence

Another hard day of cycling in the heat, despite cycling on 50 miles / 80 km. I came across a tour bus from Scotland, that was obviously either completely lost or had some kind of super-powered propulsion system that allowed it to pick up tourists in the south of France and take them to the highland battlefields within a day.

As I left Avignon, I took a short video of the city walls and where I stayed.

I also found some money and wildlife, both by the side of the road. The approach to Aix-en-Provence is up a series of hills…

…and then there’s a fast descent which brings you right out in the centre of town. I managed to geotag my pictures so you can see the route I took on my photos page here.

Aix-en-Provence is an amazing city of art, culture. It has a really young feel to the place with lots of students and is a very safe place to come home from if you are out until the early hours of the morning. It is also a city of water with over 250 fountains.
