Hotel Premiere Classe Valence Sud

And we're back! Internet was pretty much non existent though the french countryside; so sorry for the late blog posts. At any rate; we decided in order to see the wine regions of France you have to drive, so yep, we rented a car! Freedom from bus, train, and metro schedules is amazing. Our first stop out of Provence was Orange, the gateway to the Rhone Valley. But as it was a Sunday, and a holiday, there wasn't much to see, so we took off to drive ...

found a great little town in Provence.. and as they say "when in Rome (Provence)"... we had a great meal in true french restaurant... happy to be away from tourist food... and had some very nice red wine........ just a stopover but a friendly little place and nice hotel...<br><br>on the road again...<br><br>

... en bois dur. Souvent ce sont des bois presque fosilisés dont on peut voir de façon très marquée les veines celles-ci dessinent des arabesques qui vont être utilisées pour donner sens à la sculpture. Au départ le sculpteur n'avait pas le droit de modifier la racine , juste la polir aujourd'hui il a le droit de sculpter le bois ...

... Amélie de Laurencin qui aurait, dit-on, fait battre le c&#339;ur de Bonaparte, alors jeune lieutenant en garnison à Valence.<br> Et avant de refermer la lourde porte, prenez le temps d'un petit déjeuner servi dans la salle à manger aux belles boiseries 19ème siècle. L'immense table a été forgée par le maître des lieux ! Et puis n'oubliez pas d ...

... just give her a E50 note and hope for some change! The same with the butcher - we left yesterday with a piece of beef which cost the same as a small African Nation would have on the blackmarket - needless to say that the children have now been quietly prepped that we dont walk into a shop BEFORE we have looked into the windows first and decided what we want so we can avoid ...

Possibly the most romantic destination EVER, the Chateau Du Bijou is very beautiful and totally away from it all, but only just! We spent the weekend exploring the Ardeche and Drome<br>areas, situated either side of the Rhone Valley, which are both also really beautiful<br>and unspoilt holiday destinations. No crowded beaches, but fresh rivers<br>for ...

Only for Brenda! Driving down the upper Ardeche gorge on the outside of the road with 1m retaining walls and vertiginous views. Big lorries using all the bend were coming the other way ...

... Yesterday i found an even cheaper price for a bottle of wine: .85 cents!!! oh, the wonderful delights of France never cease! You can never go wrong with wine or cheese. If i come down to the point of very meager ressources, all i would need to subsist would be those two abundant french delicacies and nothing more. oh, and as far as which city between lyon and athens has the biggest reputation for ...
