I decided to return home by the scenic route, which also happens to be the shortest, because there is a strike in France (surprise !) and I wasn't sure I could find gasoline for the car.
I've traveled this road only once before, in the opposite direction. The road follows the river and the part between Quillan and Axat passes through a gorge, which is quite dramatic and with incredible scenery.
I did in fact find a service station that still had gas, and without any queue of cars. Found out why when I saw the price, 2,33€/L ! That's 9 US$/gallon ! This past year we have mostly been paying between 1,6 and 1,7 €/L.
How beautiful! Love your POV. I've had to schedule two doctor appointments on the same day to save gas and run all the errands I can in between. Prices have just gone out of control!
