Good afternoon roomies.
I thought I’d share a few postcards of today’s adventures. Today we drove east into Provence which is famous for lavender, sunflowers (both of which have finished flowering) and the author Peter Mayle whose book “A year in Provence” ensured most of it is heaving with tourists... needless to say, we avoid the worst bits!
We started our day near one of those beautiful, but overrun by tourists, places - Les Baux de Provence. Les Baux was the centre for mining Bauxite (Aluminium ore) which is how it got its name. One of the old mines has been converted to Carrières de Lumières an amazing light and sound show where pictures are projected onto the walls and you can wander through the mine galleries watching the show.
There were two shows running - the first with 1960s music called Flower Power
And the second, set to classical music, featuring Spanish artists like Goya and Picasso
