Downstream stroll

Allées de l'Oulle
Spring along the Rhone river, half a kilometre downstream from the Pont d'Avignon.

Printemps au bord du Rhône, environ un demi-kilomètre au sud du Pont d'Avignon.

Hi, it's a very great blog.
I could tell how much efforts you've taken on it.
Keep doing!

Looks like a beautiful place to take a walk on an Easter morning... how far does the path go along the river ? Is it a bike path too ?

chri said...

C'est fait, les Lilas d'espagne ou Valériane sont en fleurs...enfin en fleurs!

Sharon said...

This looks like an ideal place for a long walk!

Dan said...

How beautiful! I love the looks of that pathway.

C'est magnifique Nathalie.

Joyeuse Pâques ma chère Nathalie.

Belle poste pour montrer le renouvellement de la nature.

À cause des évènements éphémère hier je n'ai pas mentionné ha ha.

jordaenne said...

ET Nathalie, je suis le sentier de votre magnifique photo en disant que hier le jour des Pâques nos ressources familiales étaient renouvellés.Ma tante qui a 97 ans a eu la chirurgie pleine de risque et c'était un grand succès-elle marchera encore un jour.....

Two gorgeous photographs. I love valerian - a weed really and what a great weed. That second photo is magical with that beautiful path windiny along the river. Heaven.

crocrodyl said...

Oh yes, spring is there! No doubt!:)

Beautiful photos, I love this "fresh-green":)

Owen the path runs downstream from the Pont d'Avignon all the wayto the Pont de l'Europe here where it stops. It's a lovely place for a walk but little known because almost invisible from the road. The only drawback is precisely the noise from that road, just off to the right here. Some pictures don't tell you everything ;-)

Owen, ce chemin très agréable borde le Rhone en aval du pont d'Avignon jusqu'au pont de l'Europe ici où il s'arrête. C'est un chemin peu connu et peu fréquenté car peu visible depuis la route. Le seul ennui c'est précisément le bruit de cette route très passante, juste hors champ à droite de ma photo. Les images ne disent pas tout...

Jolie Photos, Nathalie, C'est beau le printemps au bord du Rhône.
J'ai un peu les boules de ne pas avoir trouvé le platane, c'est un de mes arbres préférés.

claude said...

Je suis en train de repenser : des Lichees dans un platane !

Thérèse said...

Frais à souhait!

mes toutes voisines où je ne vais jamais, l'esprit bloqué par le ruban de routes qui m'en sépare

No wonder the Rhone is fast flowing - it's REALLY STEEP.

Reminds me of the Irishman who bought some water skis, but sold them after a while complaining that he couldn't find a lake with a slope

Adam said...

You're lucky to have such a nice walk so close by. How green everything is already!

PeterParis said...

Richard, I understood the guy complaining about the missing slope was Belgian ... and when I still lived in Sweden, he was Norwegian! :-)

Nathalie, yes I understand that these photos were taken before Eastern. Had planned a trip to Arles and its Eastern festivities, but guess that it would have been quite rainy.

Wolynski said...

Beautiful photos. Avignon is gorgeous.

delphinium said...

le printemps arrive partout. Heureusement n'est-ce pas? mais vivement qu'on puisse de nouveau faire des bonshommes de neige. :-))

nancy L. said...

Beautiful! We were there last November...what a different place in the Spring! Wish I were walking down the path today!

jeff said...

Je découvre tes photos maintenant et ça donne vraiment envie de se promener le long du Rhône... Mais quel est ton travail chère Nathalie ? A bientôt ...

Kris McCracken said...

What a wonderful day.

Nathalie H.D. said...

Richard, believe it or not I'd never heard that joke. Maybe it only runs around ski countries. Nice one. And Peter's comment spices it up nicely!

Anonymous said...

you have so many such good photos!!!

can you please share the photos with all of US at
MyCOJ photo sharing ?

Welcome!!

Virginia said...

Nathalie, What a wonderful place to stroll and take photos. I 'm thinking i could tune out the street noise for this view. My walking trail that I walk each day is near a busy street for a bit. I just crank up my IPOD a little more! ha

I recognise the Valerian in the first photo - I've been struggling to get rid of it from my garden this year before it flowers - which won't be until late June here. But it's nice to see it here in its wild setting.
