Gorges du Tarn
On our way between Carcassone and the Provence region, we made a rather large detour to see the Gorges du Tarn. This beautiful gorge (30 miles or so long), had such insanely small roads with nothing but a drop on the sides. Thankfully Nadirah had elected to drive, so I spent most of the time gasping in horror. The French drivers, if we haven’t mentioned – are completely insane!! – they go around these hairpin turns on a 10 ft wide road at 60mph and don’t ever brake when they see you. Millau Bridge
To top off the day for the guy scared of heights we drove over the tallest bridge in the world, Millau Bridge, which spans the gorge at a single point. I have never seen anything like it – we could have been on the Empire State Building. Never even been close to that high on a bridge before…..can’t even describe the height, or my need to change pants.
Aven Armand
Halfway through our drive, we also managed to stop at the Aven Armand caves – the world’s largest collection of stalagmites in the world. Supposedly you could fit the Notre Dame inside.
Driving on to the Provence Cities, stayed the night in Nimes.
