A chance to rest your legs from the bike and do some exploring on foot. We visit the historic town of Pezenas for the buzz and atmosphere of the Saturday market. An absolute favourite for all!

Then we take a short drive to our lunch spot for today at the mouth of the River Herault over looking the Mediterranean. After lunch take a stroll along the beach front and perhaps finish with a nice cold gelato.

After a big day of sightseeing it’s time to kick back and chill out around the pool with some delicious local pizza. (best pizza EVER in our opinion – and yes even better than in Italy!)
