Driving Guides and Trips in Midi-Pyrénées

From Millau back to Payrac

This trip takes you from the Cathar ruin at Puivert, to Rennes le Chateau. After a walk around the village and the church of abbé Sauniere, we continued to Mont Bugarach. than on to St Paul de Fenouillet. We drove through the stunning Gorges de Galamus, and round the other side of Mont Bugarach. Unfortunately the weather was rather cold so we skipped the ascent to the summit. We'll definitely go back there...

Today we drove all day across the country.  we stopped at a autogrill for breakfast and at pont du gard for lunch.  We also popped into nimes to have a look at their monuments.  We pushed on and decided to stay in marseille.  We changed our minds once we got there and ended up in Aix en Provence.
