In our third week in France, we started in the ancient village of Moustiers-Sainte-Marie, nestled into the mountains of Verdon en Provence.
The weather started sunny, but there were also a few days of cloud that gave the village a mysterious atmosphere. There were twisty alleys and fountains and the sound of water everywhere. As we were early in the season, the shops weren’t really open, and only a few of the restaurants, but it also meant that it was quiet and empty and beautifully private…
We then travelled through the Gorge du Verdon, stopping for a picnic lunch at this incredible spot. Everything is magnificent and it’s tricky to decide what to draw.
The road along the gorge is high and winding and I have to admit it was frightening as well as breathtaking. I’m not keen on these tiny roads with no barriers!
We are now closer to the coast near Cannes and Nice, enjoying our last few days in the South of France. I can’t believe the trip is almost over!
