Photo Of The Day: River Salat and St. Girons in France

Just a taster of this beautiful region today — a shot from the Avenue Francois Camel bridge across the River Salat and into the old town section of St. Girons in the Midi-Pyrenees of France.

We are ringed by mountains here and this is one of the prime cycling destinations in Europe. Organised tour groups come here from a variety of countries and in the last week alone I have heard groups that were German, Swedish, Danish, and Italian as I was out walking through the town. From the large front windows of our new apartment, we constantly see pelotons of brightly clad riders zooming by.

We both feel that we have made a very good lifestyle choice in moving here!

Today’s photo shows the bridge across the River Salat in the town of St. Girons. This part of the Pyrenees is called the Ariege and is a mere one hour of driving time from the border with Spain.
