DAY 36 - VILLEBOIS TO AOSTE

Today wasn't the most exciting day we've had.  It involved a lot of walking on often busy roads - the Via Rhona cycle path is not yet completed on some of the route we took.

We walked by the fields
We largely followed the course of the Rhône south from Villebois. We walked along the main road for a few kilometres, then found a succession of smaller roads to take us to Le Port-de-Groslée. We had our lunch stop there before joining the Via Rhona south to Évieux. 

We walked under threatening-looking trees
At Évieux we crossed over the river, and, as the cycle way no longer went the way we were going, continued on the roads.

We walked across the Rhône  (after we stopped for this  photo)
Apart from a brief short cut cross-country, we stayed on the roads until we arrived in our accommodation in Aoste.

We walked through a path that was barely there
