End of Summer in Aubrac, France
#1



3 days riding in south of French "Massif Central" : enjoying the last summer days under sunshine. Our CB1100 reached 20000 km, without any trouble, as usual!


Mont Gerbier de Jonc is a famous rock, as river Loire (one of the longest french rivers) begins there. 500 ft height, we took about half an hour climbing it.



Then we visited Aubrac, large flat highlands, nearly desertic area, devoted to breeding of cattle. We also saw a wolf crossing the road at night (not a dog... a real wild wolf)... These nasty animals are expanding in France since a few years now.
We had booked for the night this rebuilt traditional shelter, away from any town or village: [url=http://buron-aubrac.fr]Cap Combattut
