A long day of exploring several amazing towns. Started with the antiques market in Isle-sur-la Sorgue, a small village set along the Sorgue river which hosts the largest antiques market in Provence on Sundays…cool stuff, pretty town, way too many people, so we left for the next site.
Off to Fontaine-de-Vaucluse, a village set in a gorge valley which is the spring that originates the Sorgue river. They still do not know how deep the actual spring is! Castle ruins look over the valley while the cliffs are dotted with holes and caves. Very pretty village and walk.
After a little ice cream, we’re off to Gordes, a village perched atop white cliffs above the vineyards below (ranked as one of Frances most beautiful towns). It was incredible.
After Gordes, we stopped at the Abbaye de Sénanque, with it’s surrounding lavender fields. One of Kendra’s photo-op musts…
Then on to Roussillon. Only a short distance away, and visible from the cliffs of Gordes, but the rock and soil are all red, orange, yellow, purple, etc…the site of the Ocre harvested for paints. All houses in this village are painted using the Ocre based colours. Wish we could have bought some paints but they were very expensive. Also, both our phones and camera died by this point so we have very few photos, especially since it was getting to that golden glow light of evening:(
