If a picture is worth a thousand words, by my calculations, this post is about 18,000 words long... for the first time, I'm letting the pictures do the talking.
Carcassonne
First sighting of Carcassonne, the only stop on our roadtrip that's not actually in Provence
Castel Chambres, the 13th centry castle we stayed in just outside Carcassonne
Nîmes
The Roman amphitheatre in Nîmes
Maison Carrée, built c. 16 BC
Pont du Gard, the tallest Roman aqueduct
Avignon
The Papal Palace, from the 125 years when Avignon took over from the Vatican as the seat of the Pope
Inside the cathedral at the Papal Palace
Gordes
A random field of poppies near Gordes. Also the only place those socks will ever be camouflaged.
Sénanque Abbey, built in the 12th century. It was Sunday morning, so the monks were singing
The view from Gordes
Gordes itself, moments after I fell in love with it
Aix-en-Provence
Flag in Vauvenargues, with Mt Saint-Victoire (Cézanne's mountain) in the background.
