We had a short walk around Arles this morning until it started raining. Our route out of Arles wasn't through the best of areas as we passed a couple of rather untidy traveller sites, although Vanessa did suggest they may have been refugee camps for which I have a lot more sympathy. We headed off towards Cannes avoiding the toll routes and ended up skirting round Marseille which was a route we haven't done before with some good views of the Med and a large inland lake. Eventually to save time I broke one of my rules and jumped on the A8 toll road for about 100k to save time. The last 25k towards Cannes were quite challenging as we climbed, twisted and then descended towards our destination. We have now arrived at Les Cigales ( thanks to @Mr Milliemobile for the recommendation) where we were hoping to stay for at least a week. Unfortunately they close this weekend so we will be on the move again this Monday.
