Day 16 - Hilltop towns of Provence

It has been a day of lots of driving, and lots of scenic stopovers.


Red poppies. Photo is not showing the colours that well.

Lourmarin
At the place where we took the photos of the red poppies, we bumped into a Canadian guy and he said Lourmarin is worth going. So that's where we headed for a slight detour and our lunch.


Provencale shutters


My salad with egg and hollandaise sauce. Fresh and flavourful veges and produce


Mrs Chan's beef cappacio. A refreshing, light lunch for her.


My Beef tartare

Bonnieux




Gordes
A very touristy, but deservingly beautiful hilltop town.




Afternoon tea - Tarte Tatin with a $1m view


View from our table

Fontaine de Vaucluse
The "fountain" is a natural water source that is pushed up from underground and flows down the river. A nice little village with a steep cliff backdrop.





Synchronised swimming
