Drove out of town to start the ride. Effectively two out and backs from a central point and both on very good cycle paths well away from any traffic.
Firstly out towards Narbonne Plage first along canal and past lagoon and into a summer resort that was still off season but a good number of runners and cyclists.
Then from the start point out to Port La Nouvelle which was similar canal and lagoon side paths before reaching the very industrial edge of Port La Nouvelle and then through to the seafront resort. Had a stupidly large risotto for lunch which I can still feel in my belly 8 hours later. A slow but wind assisted ride back to finish off the 45 mile ride.
A 2 hr drive onwards to Arle and a walk into town and a wander. Really nice relaxed and pretty town centre.
