Liz says...Our clothes dried in hotel's drying room and we leave leisurely at 10am.
All dry and toasty in Hostellerie Les Bruyeres. Merci proprieteres.
Nixter and Mal have excellent idea of skipping Le Vigan (the original destination) and seeing how far we can comfortably get to Seté. Rain is heavy again and I do not enjoy the road to Ganges.

Stop for coffee in Cazillhac - good tabac and maybe the best for a week - while rain becomes torrential.
coffee in Cazillhac
We leave as soon as there's a break and it proves a good omen. Countryside thereafter is classic Mediterranean and I enjoy it again for the first time since the Col de Perjuret.
head all the way to the back of the town for one of the world's best squares
saint-guilhem-le-desert
We reach the wonderful Saint-guilhem-le-desert at 4ish and find a chambre d'hote in nearby St Jean-de-Fos opposite an excellent restaurant "La poupre et Les Oliviers". Feel faint for 2nd/3rd time at an evening meal, my fingers start getting pins and needles and I and almost pass out. Will look into this when I get back. Night night.
