This summer, my friend Fabienne and I spent two weeks in France. The weather was beautiful, all along...hot and sunny. We went with the car....a Renault Twingo which was perfect for the tight lanes there. Our camping was in Saint-Quentin-La-Poterie, a little village close to Uzès and Avignon.
At the way down there, we made a stop near Lucerne to visit a top level athletics meeting. I got VIP tickets from a friend of mine...the view from the tribune was perfect and the athletes did a good job...excellent results!
Michael and Alex, who are in the same athletics team, accompanied us.
Our first breakky at the camping. We always ate baguette and sometimes pain au chocolat (bread with chocolate bars in it). Fabienne got her Chicco d'oro coffee every morning.
Luxury...our beautiful and cosy hammock.
We had two pools and everything you need for camping. I'm pretty sure it wouldn't be much more comfortable sleeping in a house...and unbelievable everything got in our little Twingo :-).
Two weeks full of French Food, two weeks full of deliciousness!
One day, we spent in Avignon. A city close to our little village. The historic centre had much charm...just lovely.
pool day :-)
For one morning we did some horse riding...second time in my life. First, it was very tricky but with the time also Stee got the hang of it :-) Fabienne did a good job right from the beginning but I have to mention that she did it already years before ;-)
Every Wednesday and Saturday there was a market in Uzès where we always bought vegetables, fruits and nuts. We loved the lavender which covered the whole ambiance in his pretty flavour.
The famous fountain in the centre of Uzès.
One trip we made to the Pont du Gard, a very old viaduct which irrigated the whole province years and years before. We went there with a kayak which was very funny and also exhausting. The next day, we had sore muscles.
Les beaux is a village built on the rocks of the Provence. Very touristic but lovely with all the little shops and the tiny lines. Fabienne and I found two holes in the rocks...we weren't able to help doing some funny pictures :-)
Beautiful sunflowers were adorning the landscape.
Thomas, a French guy we got to know down there, accompanied us to Le Pont du Gard once.
Thanks for those wonderful holidays Fabi...it was amazing, funny and memorable!
