There were two ways to walk into the village, along the road, or along the river, which was the nicer option.

Ceri-Siân's feet have turned into a pot of gold! A rainbow in spray of Le Musée de l'Eau.
PS who needs a pot of gold when we got Ceri!

The narrow streets of Pont-en-Royans. These streets were busy at times with cars and lorries trying to squeeze through.

The river enters a narrow gorge at the end of the village, at which point the river is bridged, the width of the gorge at that point being that of the bridge arch. The view to the right shows how the gorge opens out a bit as the river heads upstream.
