The canal path

Today, we rented bikes in Arles, to ride along one of the canals.    To reach the canal, we first ride along the edge of the Rhone.

The canal path begins at Pont Van Gogh.

We rode south to Mas Thibert.  Stopped for mineral water and sandwiches, then headed north.  We rode about 25 miles over 4 hours.
