Les Baux, Lourmarin and Gordes

Lourmarin is one of my favourite Villages so far...
its just so charming!
Lots of gift shops and wonderful cafes line the streets.



We decided to stop at a busy cafe...


I opted for the plats du jour.
Salad with hummus


Ravioli with beef and cheese


Yummy!

Lilac coloured doors were not that common in the Villages we visited.


A bright yellow was unusual too...


Gordes was a very old stone hilltop Village.
Beautiful stacked stone walls lined the streets.


It was foggy when we arrived.


We stopped here for lunch on our way to Roussillon.

I had a ham and butter sandwich which was delicious!
Ham and Butter?

If you must know...
the butter has salt crystals that pop in your mouth when you bite into them
The ham is sliced super thin and melts in your mouth.

Behold the Breathtaking Beauty of Roussillon...


Stunning in its Beauty
Roussillon surprised and delighted me.



We walked along the Ochre Trail.




The sunlight reflected off the richly coloured cliffs.


Layers of colours


The Village structures were made with the local soil and stones.


Rich Sienna toned homes and buildings line the streets.


Shops, cafes and galleries...



It's been a busy weekend here in The Humble Bungalow.

Dinner out with friends, 
volunteering at the Goward House Craft Fair
(White Elephant Stall)
We hosted a casual dinner for the grandchildren yesterday 
and
today it's a "Catch up Day."
