Wednesday - Olargues

<=(If you're looking for tranquility, Carlencas is one of the innumerable villages that can offer you the quiet you need, but may drive you nuts. There were a few people around mind you.)

Wednesday - got the hell out of Gignac earlyish after breakfast, then got detoured near some lake, and on a road winding up a mountain road that is about one car wide. Stopped at a semi abandoned village high up, Carlencas, then rolled back down onto a nearby red B road that is fast but still scenic.




(Carlencas, beautiful, sitting high on a gentle hill, could be nice)=>








<=(Olargues is beautiful, and on a long bike trail converted from a rail line. Didn't see anyone here in the village, but there was a decent sized school with plenty of students, and plenty of parents hanging around with cars to pick them up.)







Stopped at Olargues because of a bright red bridge that turns out to be part of a rail trail. A very nice town with character, but no place to eat.









<=(Looks like you're in someone's home, but seems that it is a public internal staircase.)



Made it to Premian for lunch next to the road.
















<=(Premian, one of the endless villages of France that are beautiful, and I suppose cater more for the travellers.)






(Premian was a good lunch stop. Even nowhere is somewhere here.)=>




Keep rolling to hit Albi for a bit, then call up some places to stay, finding the chateau at Cordes sur Ciel. Bit of a long driving day today.
