It's Sunday Oct 19. The weather has been fabulous the whole time here which is perfect because we are doing lots of outdoor activities. Today we drove to Provence-- to les Baux de Provence to see the medieval chateau and quarry nearby. The chateau had beautiful views of the valley & mountains as well as artifacts like catapults-- showing some aspects of their lives. The quarry was a most unusual place as they put on an amazing visual presentation of art on all the walls of this indoor quarry. I cannot explain it well. . . Just very unique.
I got a taste of Provence on this lovely drive. (Montpellier is not in Provence so the drive took us east into this different region. ) I got a feel of how much more touristy Provence is and the landscape is quite different. It really did feel like what I expected Provence would be--- just a taste of it in one day of course. Really picturesque. Tomorrow we are going to take it easy as we've been going at a high speed so far..
