... product marketing. He is also a competitive cyclists, riding up Mont Ventoux in 2hrs 1min. A feat I cannot even imagine. His hospitality and extensive knowledge of the region, that he shared with us, over a long French lunch was an invaluable experience.
With what remained of the afternoon we walked around to the Roman Theatre. This is one of only 3 Roman theatres remaining and is world heritage listed. It is used ...
