Cycling to Mejanes

For our final bike trip of the season, we drove to Stes.-Maries-de-la-mer and rented bikes to ride north, along the edge of the estuary to Mejanes, in the Camargue.  The route is pretty much due north most of the way.

Our starting and ending point--I'm not sure what the second language is.

Our turning around spot -- the coffee shop at Domaine Paul Ricard in Mejanes

The marsh along the trail

The Camargue is largely marsh and wetlands in the Rhone River delta.  In addition to flamingos, the Camargue is famous for its bulls, its white horses, and rice culture.  We saw all of these along today's route.
