Day Four - to the South!

It's been a long day but we are now within spitting distance of Carcassonne, having travelled the length of the spectacular Tarn Gorge, over the impressive Milau Viaduct and along the motorway to Rieux-Minervois (http://maps.google.com/?q=43.3284%2C3.0445).

I now understand why people rave about the French motorways; they're well made, convenient and fast. There are, however, two things I don't understand:
1) There are no catseyes, and
2) The road-numbering is rubbish.

The road-numbering is particularly strange, since it seems such a simple thing to get right, but roads change their numbers, switch from "A" to "D" and can't be relied upon for more than for few miles. Most frustrating.
