1st July we left Pignans to spend the next 6 days driving up through the middle of France to Paris.
Along the way there we visited Palais de Papes in Avignon ( where the Popes reigned in the 1300's instead of in Rome ) + the nearby 2000 year old Roman Aquaduct of Pont du Gard ( which for 500 years carried water supplies / foot + traffic across a river valley )
We stopped for 2 nights in Sainte-Eulalie de Cernon ( about 20km south of Millau ) which along with the nearby La Couvertoirade are well preserved 14th - 18th Century villages of the Knights Templar and the Knights Hospitallar
Also visited ( + drove over ) the rather spectacular 6 year old Viaduc de Millau ( a motorway change that took 40 minutes driving time off the former route ) + swam in the Gorges du Dourbie
