La Benvengudo Les Baux

... bit grotty and run down and a bit poor… that does not normally put us off though so not sure what was wrong. The town was under going a fair bit of renovation and rejuvenation work and has a hell of a lot of potential as great place to visit…so perhaps in 5 years that is exactly what it will be. We went for a wander and found the amphitheatre which was like a mini coliseum in the center of town. It ...

Plan was to stay in Avignon but when we arrived we decided it was too big for us and after driving around the outide of the ramparts of the old city walls - very cool and the main thing we wanted to see - we made our way onwards to Fontaine de Vaucluse which is 20kms past Avignon. We arrived just before dark and found an Aire de Service at the edge of town where settled in for 2 days. The town ...

... the security of this fortress. Brian scoped out several indents where floor beams had been inserted, and hinges for doors had been drilled, as well as a fireplace opening. After the 1830’s it’s been used for local bull-fights and has been undergoing extensive renovations. Sandblasters pierced our ears and evidence of new stone was everywhere. Part of me was sad to ...

... million pound sterling images that were worthless when Vincent was alive.

Now I think I know, what you tried to say to me
And how you suffered for your sanity, and how you tried to set them free
They would not listen, they’re not listening still.
Perhaps they never will.

Curse the Mistral - it has been blowing for 3 days non stop and it is gale force and freezing cold. It appears to have abated slightly this afternoon and our local guide informed us that it stops after either 3 days, 6 days or 9 days so we are hopeful. Last night it ws like sleeping under a jet ready for take off all night. Poor Big Mama got rocked around and it takes a lot to move her. A big ...

... of the dishes (which were written in a flowery script that made the names even harder to decipher), and the waiter struggled to translate. So we thought, well it’ll all be good, and none of it seemed to be brains or tripe, so we each ordered one option of all three courses. One of the first courses was no longer available so we both had a salmon dish. Now I’ve eaten a lot of salmon but this was the best ever – firm ...

July 13th, 2007 Today was a different kind of excursion day. The theater class was going to see a play in Avignon so we were missing about half of the group. The other half went to Les Baux en Provence and St. Remy. We went to St. Remy first. Nothing Special. Jacqueline gave us the city tour just like she gives us the tours of the historical sites in Arles. I felt bad because no one was really interested in taking the tour ...

... beautiful but it was also to make up for the three and half hour class we had to endure on the previous Saturday so the president could walk in for about 5 minutes just to watch out professor lecture. But also, the school photographer needed to come along and get some cheesey pictures of us enjoying our Lacoste experience in old run down vans with no air conditioning in about 115 F heat. Lovely picture isn't it. I just know I am going to show up in next year's catalogue ...
