- Day 4 (Day 1 Camino)
- St-Gilles-du-Gard
- Distance 13 1/2 miles (95% on tarmack)
- Ascent 313 feet & Descent 354 feet
- Time: 5:45
- Weather: 45 – 70 degrees, wind 18 MPH, clear blue sky
The only dilemma of the day was deciding to back-track 1/2 mile downhill to begin at the official start of the Arles Route. Is there any question I would not begin at the beginning?
- Arles – Les Alyscamps with church of Saint-Honorat, the traditional starting place for the pilgrimage
- Towards Saint-Gilles – Blue shutters
- Saint-Gilles – Bridge over Canal du Rhône

Nothing like the rains if C2C on our first day of walking. Yesterday I sat on the stone steps of the cathedral in the sun with the breeze in my face and it felt like the perfect beach day. linda

I’m a little late joining the party, but looking forward to catching up. (My version of “binge-watching” something, I suppose!) Your photos are exquisite!

You are never late. You and Jay were my blog and Apple teachers. I must give iPhone 6 and France the credit for the excellent pictures. I just happen to be at the right place, at the right time, with the right equipment, and with the right eye for seeing beauty. Binge-view when you have time to see all the postings. linda
