ARLES

 

A bend in the great River Rhône at Arles. This is the first of the many waterways that collectively outline my walk.

Arles is an ancient city that can trace it origins back over two thousand years. Some archeological and architectural works from the period of Roman occupation are still clearly visible.

In 2022, from mid-September to early October I journeyed from Marseille to Toulouse. In a solo hike beginning in the ancient Roman city of Arles, I followed the Canal de Philippe Lamour, the Petit-Rh ô ne river, the Canal Du Rh ô ne à Sete and then the Canal du Midi to its source north of Toulouse. There were a couple of short train journeys, a few small bus trips and even a short boat ride, but most of the journey was made on foot. This was, in large part, a hiking trip. In the following pages you will read about why I made this particular journey, where I went, what I saw and what I ate. I hope you will gain a sense of how much I appreciated my time in France and how close I felt to the French people and this picturesque part of their beautiful country.
