France 2

Back Next

17-20OCT2004 Back in France, I spent a soggy night at an overpriced campground near Cannes.  I enjoyed another night at a campground near Toulon where the staff was friendly and the price was right.

Laure, my friend in Paris, had recommended a visit to the Camargue, a beautiful area at the mouth of the Rhone River.  I stayed in a little hotel in Port St. Louis and had some extremely mediocre chicken fajitas at the nearby restaurant.  The next day I enjoyed the sights of the Camargue.  White horses, a peculiar architecture and some uncrowded roads.  And, thanks to the truck drivers, I spotted a roadside restaurant and had the best food of my visit to France.  

I missed most of Marseille by going through a tunnel and whizzed through the rest of France a bit miffed by the high prices and sub-standard accomodations.  Yes, the countryside was beautiful.  Provence does have great light.  The lavender shutters on the houses were quaint but I was ready for a new country.
