To be added later...
Today we returned to a Logis de France hotel in St-Jean-du-Gard that we had patronized during two previous cycling tours in 2004 and 2005. Happily, the same owner-chef is still there (though slightly older looking...as are we) and his food is still just as wonderful as we remember. It's the Auberge du Peras and we do recommend it.
Overall, a great but tiring ride today on mostly excellent roads. Very tiring due to gale-force headwinds that made us have to fight on every pedal stroke.
D101 west of St-Laurent-des-Arbres and first portion of D982 until nearing Uzès was particularly nice low-traffic riding. Much of the rest of D982 was excellent road, but less traffic would have made it much better. The D8/D907 approach to Anduze I'm sure was much better than whatever route the traffic signs for cars was directing.
