After spending a lovely week with Mum and Dad in St. Jeannet near Nice, we travelled further into Provence to a beautiful, little hilltop town in the Luberon district. Thanks to Sal and Ned’s recommendation from their stay here last year, we found ourselves in a three levelled, gorgeously decorated stone house in the centre of the tiny village of Goult. The house is a holiday home for an English family, so it was full of English books, DVD’s and a heated swimming pool – what more could we want… SO nice to immerse ourselves in some new books and Boothie to watch a few more Game Of Thrones episodes.
Strolling through Menerbes
We spent the week exploring the Luberon – lots of lovely hilltop towns, food markets in a different town square each day – so much cheese and fresh produce and even spent a day cycling from Cousillon to Menerbes (where the book ‘A Year in Provence’ is set).
Beautiful day in Rousillon
Surfing the ochre cliffs in Rousillon
The roads continued to be spectacularly narrow and windy with fast cars and aggressive drivers – Boothie was amazing!! The roads and scenery in this area, was just like watching the Tour de France coverage. Driving up Mt. Ventoux was a highlight – so many cyclists trying to emulate ‘le tour’ – even more impressive that most of them looked at least twenty years older than us!
