And the adventure continues...
Mike & Kathy Meagher
|
Starting out Wednesday at the petit marché in
the Place aux Herbes in Uzès...
 |
The brothers take a long lunch in the afternoon sun...
|
|
A drive north of town takes us to Lussan, where Kathy mixes with the
blooming forsythia.
|
The Chateau Allègre, just northwest of Lussan on the
way to Saint-Ambroix, looms on a cliff...this medieval ruin is in
the process of being restored by the government. |
|
Another day, another road trip to Les
Alpilles, south of Avignon, where we visited a true ruin...
|
a sprawling Roman aqueduct/mill
just south of the town of Fontvieille.
|
|
Looking at Mike & Kathy through the
aqueduct, one way back to the
ruins...
|
...then the other way, where the water poured out
into the delta toward Arles and the Mediterranean Sea.
|
|
Onward into the beautiful valley between Maussanne and Saint-Remy-de-Provence...
|
where the fortified village of Les Baux
still sits atop the Alpilles.
|
|
Next stop, Arles where the Roman-era arena still hosts bullfighting
events of all sorts.
|
Last stop of the day ...Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer, by the
beautiful Mediterranean Sea...beautiful in spite of the nasty wind and
drizzle. |
