Dag 29: Grau-du-Roy - Frontignan (56 km)

27 juni 2018 - Frontignan, Frankrijk

A day freeweehling along the mediteranean sea, crossing places like La Grande Motte where the French jetset stalls its boats. I now do understand why we've seen so few of them on the rivers: they simply rest in the harbours. Anyway, it was a pleasure travelling along the sea and dunes, battling with the strong wind that came from the direction we were going into; it tempered at least the effect of the hot sun.

We've settled at a campsite near Sěte. Our next challenge is to get back to Avignon or Arles. The problem is that the French Railways are on strike tomorrow and it is uncertain where the problems will be. When we left The Netherlands, four weeks ago, there also was a strike in the regional public transport sector. The ferry over the river Maas was involved. However, they did transport commuters but didn't charge. I would be happy if the French copy this excelllent example but have my doubts.

PS There was a detour of about 8 kms today 🙂.
