The next day it was sunny so we went out, 2 things I should say... *

1) you are allowed down that road
2) I am not doing anything to the plants, I'm just standing there...

Image
* none of the above statements are true...

The bongo, no, you're not supposed to drive up here making all the walkers and cyclists get out of your way...
Image

Yes chris, you're lost and that is a map of france....

So if you ignore the "road closed" sign, and just drive through looking daft you get to see pretty things.....

Exactly what we did, walking or cycling is good but only if you've half a day to do it in :wink:

Just claim to be lost tourists if challenged, ¿eh amigo? :D
