Today for the first time, sunscreen and sunglasses are at the ready. I leave Bourg-Saint-Andéol and continue south on the ViaRhôna.

The mountains become lower and recede, making way for the ever-widening Rhone.

On the right and left, old fortresses and castles line the route.

For almost the entire day, I have a view of Mont Ventoux, the highest mountain in the area, to my left along the route.

For the last 12 kilometers, I take the country road to Tarascon to avoid an additional 15 kilometers due to the bends of the Rhone. 

Now I have to wait for the hotel reception to open at 6:30 PM; continuous opening hours are uncommon in rural areas of France, not just in restaurants.
