December 30, 2023,Dem Ruf des Meeres folgen - Von Arles nach Plage Napoléon 🛣️🚴‍♀️⛱️

Actually, I rarely go on long bike rides, but when the sea beckons, I can hardly resist the call. So today I took on a distance of around 100 kilometers (there and back). The weather report also promised a few hours of sun 😉

After spending some time on the beach at Plage Napoleon, it is now time to head back. Since I didn't want to reach my destination Arles in complete darkness, I unfortunately have to say goodbye to the sand and sea in the afternoon. At least the sun will be there for me for a few …

Cycling from Port-Saint-Louis to Arles is a wild adventure through the Camargue 🌾. The strong Mistral wind on the way there 💨 sets the tone: every pedal stroke is worth it on this endless path 🚴‍♂️, between marshes and white horses.

Our bike tour from Port-Saint-Louis-du-Rhône to Arles began with sunshine on our faces – but also with the Mistral blowing full force in our faces. The wind seemed to be telling us: "Better turn back!" The path seemed endless, every kilometer a small struggle. By the side of the road: a sad donkey that looked exactly the way we felt. …
