Pretty villages, undulating roads and vinyards led us through Armagnac. Clearly, given the local industry a wealthy area, with beautifully kept villages.
The church towers in this area all seem to be octagonal.
It was more overcast today and not quite so hot in the afternoon. We've come to the Camping Municipal at Gabarret after a gruelling 10 kilometres on a very rough Voie Verte. A good way to make a nice cycling surface on a voie verte is to wait until it is very muddy, then drive a tractor over it. Let it dry out in the sun and cyclists will really enjoy the ruts and bumps! The Municipal Campsite here is the cheapest campsite of the tour at €8.00 and is clean and pleasant. What is more it has loo paper. Last night we paid €16.00 and had to use our own!
Aire-sur-l'Adour to Gabarret 59km, 450m ascent.
