Dear readers,
This is what is colloquially known as a month of May at viaducts.
This year, three public holidays fall on a Monday.
With the addition of the Ascension weekend, the 2023 calendar offers four golden opportunities to enjoy an extended weekend under the spring skies.
In May, do (really) what you like?
It may seem complicated at the last minute, but playable, including by train!
All the more reason to discover our favourites.
