Cycling Lucca's Walls


The tree lined avenues on the walls of Lucca.
The town of Lucca is about a ten minute drive from the villa where I am working, and every now and again we get the opportunity to pop in for a breath of fresh air. Fortunately for us, our guests at the moment have some young girls that were keen on cycling the walls of Lucca. Lucca is completely surrounded by a massive wall built in the 16th and 17th century, and the original gates used to allow people and traffic in and out of the city centre in the past are still intact and used today. We hired bicycles for the day, and cycled in the shade of the plane and chestnut trees that line the streets.
