Water-winged children splash doggy-paddlers in this river playground of butterflies, helicopter hoppers, revellers in the sunshine. A life-jacketed dog (most peculiar), swims for her life. Cicadas play in the background heat, trees singing out their wildness. Dogs walk their owners at the shallow end. It is one of the odder sights. The Cevennes breeze offers only light relief, waiting for the Sahara plume to arrive in the morning. The rocky sentinel stands watch, from a distance, as it did for our ancient grandmothers, enjoying a day out.
