Gorge du Tarn

I purchased a motorcycle magazine on the best roads for motorcycling in France, small hotels, auberges welcoming motorcyclists. Summer is wonderful as daylight reaches 10pm. A long ride through the Gorge, and kilometers of gravel takes me a l'Auberge d'Alain who rides a yellow Suzuki and hides a collection of old bikes in his shed. The yard surrounded by tall walls is safe for the bike at night. The room is 34 euros, dinner was 12 euros (local fish with pomme de terre sautees).
Down below, fishermen in a rubber dingy are catching the local perch.
