Bike riding on the walls of Lucca, a photo by Colin J Sheehan on Flickr.

From Assisi and back to Rome to our Intrepid trip Rome to Paris. First stop 4 days in lovely Lucca a medieval walled city in Tuscany. Originally a Roman garrison the wooden walls were replaced with increasingly sturdy defensive walls unti in the medieval period the walls were fortified so that now you can drive and walk along the top of their very wide 4 km perimeter.
