The very best of Provence !

Very hard to select the best of photos.. these appear in a random order, so the captions made be slightly out of sync with the story told in each of the albums. There are links to the album they are in (under the image), so you can follow the story in full!

Forêt Domaniale de Vénasque, Route de Gordes
Scenic stuff.. Forêt Domaniale de Vénasque, Route de Gordes
Gordes
Gordes.. built on the foothills of the Monts of Vaucluse, facing the Luberon. The houses and buildings are made of white stone, rooted into the sharp cliff of the mountain. The cobblestone street are a narrow labyrthinth of "calades". Lavender ice cream is a speciality of the area but I didn't try any.
