We leave Provence tomorrow to head north west, so spent today visiting the villages of Pontvieille and Maussane Les Alpilles, wandering the streets and markets, and enjoying a special lunch.

Hopefully you are not too tired of my photos, but the blog and photos create a wonderful memory for us in the future. France is such a complex, yet beautiful country with something different and often amazing around every corner. Photos cannot do it justice.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Pigeons calling,  dogs barking,  woman gossiping away in their beautiful flowing language from one high window to the other,  men talking loudly in words I unfortunately cannot follow while smoking what seems an unending cigarette and drinking another morning espresso or wine.

BUT the bells. How I love their sound which never fail to bring a smile to my face. I love knowing that the bells have been ringing for centuries in this ancient country and will continue to for centuries to come.
