Suspense in Millau
... everywhere recommending to brake with your gears.
We got to where Google maps said that Millau bridge was. But once again we had a bit of trouble understanding the road signs - we did not want to get caught by the road forcing us through the tolls and onto the bridge yet. We intended to do some sightseeing first before crossing the bridge, so we were looking really hard for signs indicating lookout spots or tourist information. We went on ...

It tunnels through mountains and other times hangs off the side of ...
Millau bridge and a visit to Peyre
... Another day here and we would be treated like locals, even know our way around now. Shame to leave.
However tomorrow we will head towards Paris, will not arrive there that day as we are going the long way and keep to the countryside. will stay at a very small place for the night, that is if we can find anything there. Basil Garmin will come up with something for us.
A lovely day we will always remember as very special.

Some of these very narrow lane ways might have a couple of tables and chairs outside their shops but I tell you what they have the best food and coffee at ...
Lakeside campsite
Again pleasant driving avoiding toll roads, across open rolling coutryside.
Tricky. this finding places to stay, I had thought that we would use French Aires, but the ones I've aimed for are full. So we found a campsite with no one in!. It is the end of French holidays.
We walked a bit by the lake, drank some local wine, listened to thunder in the distance and slept ...
