When driving around the area where we were vacationing, we saw a sign for a vélorail. This is a decommissioned bit of train tracks that's now used for cars that you pedal. The attraction was supposed to be that it took you by a Roman bridge, and was a nice way to see the scenery.
We thought the boys would be pedaling for us, but one of the rules is an adult has to be in a front seat by the brake at all times.
 |
| The other reality was that the path wasn't very scenic, stunk a bit, and was full of flies. |
 |
| But at least the boys got their exercise; so did Frédéric. |
 |
| The Roman bridge was actually near the entrance, so we could saved our trouble and just taken a photo, without the ride. |
On Tuesday, we visited the Cirque de Mourèze. A "cirque" is "an amphitheater-like valley formed by erosion." There are several of these in Reunion Island, but until this trip, we didn't realize there were any in mainland France.

After visiting the port of Sète, we continued to the Antique Mediterranean Gardens. The gardens display and explain the use of different plants in Antiquity. I think our visit might have been better if it hadn't been quite so dry, or if the area hadn't been in a drought and they'd been allowed to water the gardens.
