Mercure Cavaillon

... over 1.5 million tourists each year as it is the source of a natural spring. It's wierd seeing a fast flowing river and then walking 50 metres "upstream" and there only being a trickle.. and then a bit further and no water... nothing but a big cliff straight up! <br><br>The town itself is nestled in a valley and is particularly pretty at dusk when rocks take on the colours of the sunset ...

... made some friends had we the time and resources to put together costumes... I decided we were dressed up as Canadians, which I thought would have worked great until Tom pointed out that Canadians would probably speak more French. But we weren't really left out, there were only a handful of people dressed up. Overall; here is the tally of costumes in Aix on halloween: 2 girls in witch hats (with one stocking each), 5 ...

... didn&#8217;t even really resist. They knew the status to being &#8217;Roman&#8217; and that it would bring them instant infrastructure, roads, money, etc. <br><br>But enough of all this Roman talk - we&#8217;re in France after all! Italy will come when we set sail tomorrow night. For now we&#8217;re dining on our last few snipits of cheese, provincial bread and aioli sauce.

... did he find the determination to continue? Even the one friendship he had ended so bitterly that he felt the need to main himself. Thus triggering the descent into insanity. <br> <br> Starry, starry night, <br> Flaming flowers that brightly play.<br> Swirling clouds and violet haze.<br> Reflecting in Vincent&#8217;s eyes of China blue. <br><br>I was so ...

... Aix...oh, the Brits abroad, mon dieu! Still, best 6&#8364; I've ever spent. We've also been along to the cinema. Embarassingly, it was to see Fame but I'd like to point out how important cinema, and going to the cinema, is to the French. There are at least 3 cinemas in Aix, and there are huge film posters everywhere. 'Le Cezanne', has it's name lit up, and, unlike at home, the seats are like armchairs and there's plenty of leg room. But, like at home, it's bloody ...

... we were nearly blown to Marseille. Tomorrow we are going on a lunchtime cruise on the Rhone with more food and wine and before that visiting the famous bridge and hopefully we will have time to go over to see the nearby fort in the afternoon. <br><br>Then we start the final run north - first a night at Beaujolais, then 2 nights at Strasbourg and one last night at Munich before we leave Big ...

... by one third. Other than the essential bonjour (how are you) and merci (thanks),I found the following expression in French truly useful: less (for bagaining and buying grocery), tap water please (for meal). Word of my favorite: enchante (nice to meet you)- such an enchanting little word. Now Isle sougues- prettish little town with ancient watermills. Glistening with wet moss, the watermills tirelessly churn on top of emerald green creeks on one side of town. I ...

Who goes to the South of France in Winter? Well, we did. Sure, anyone can recount the stories of a Provence where they sipped pastis in a shady town square, wandered through fields of lavendar, or woke to the sounds of ...
