Last full day at the Provence villa

Our first and only rainy day. We went to Lourmarin market, where the weather was better, and then drove through Cadenet and Vaugines before lunching in Bonnieux.

Afternoon was spent packing before the caterers arrived with our last dinner.






And we finished the night with a little bit of singing.


On Saturday we go our separate ways. We drop Cherry off at Avignon before driving to Burgundy with Malcolm and Raylene.

Saignon and Roussillon

Went to Saignon with its scary viewing points but rewarding views.










And then on to red Roussillon where we watched people gather for a wedding in the town hall while we ate lunch across the road.








 


We had dinner in. Doug and Carolyn cooked us a fantastic meal.

Carrières de Lumiéres

 

On our last few trips to Provence we've gone to see "Carrières de Lumiéres", a multimedia show which sets music to images displayed on the walls of an old quarry near the ancient village of Les Baux-de-Provence.

This year's first show was based on the works of Dutch abstract artist Piet Mondrian.














For a few seconds the quarry walls were restored to normal.

And then the main show featured the works of a range of Dutch painters including Vermeer, Rembrandt and Van Gogh.
