When we come back out of the Camargue, we will have one night in Arles. The next day we will be able to briefly check out the market, before heading off to Cavaillon, 50 km east. Cavaillon stands at the entrance to a broad valley, with the Luberon mountains to the south and the Vaucluse (and Mont Ventoux) to the north. Up the middle of this runs the Veloroute du Calavon. It's a wonderful cycle superhighway, giving access to the perched villages made famous (with us)  by Peter Mayle - like Bonnieux and Menerbes and  Roussillon and Gordes. But we will not be swayed by all that this time. Rather we will quite quickly duck south of the Luberon, crossing but never following the Calavon route. 

Now we will pass villages and terrain that we know nothing about. The route loosely parallels the Durance river for a time, before trending south and heading for the (Mediterranean) sea.  Going this way, our target could well be Cannes and Nice, Monaco, and Italy. But no, we will turn away from that and dip down to the port town of Toulon. Toulon will be our point of departure for Mallorca by ferry. We could have equally boarded from Sete, but here we are mixing it up, boldly going where no Grampies have (exactly) gone before!
