The dyke bike path is really nice. Now in the dry late summer it only has water in the ponds at the beginning, so no flamingos further back. But very nice and many big dragonflies.

May 22, 2025,Tag 3: Saintes-Marie - Salin de Giraud

Today's stage took us from Saintes Marie de la Mere via Seedaiche to Salin de Giraud. The landscape was very impressive, and we saw many birds and flowers.

On the stretches open to cars, the roads were very worn and riddled with potholes.
