I got sick yesterday, so I gave up on the trade fair that I had planned and took a good rest.
And today is the last purchase in the south of France
the sunrise was beautiful
wait for the opening
The dog looks cold too
In addition to pottery, you can buy various things you like here.
Packed in a car and left the venue
Today I will go home, pack my purchases, and clean the room that I have been indebted to for two weeks before going to sleep.
Traveling through the South of France in photos
Moustiers-Sainte-Marie
Visit the Verdon Natural Park, not far from Moustiers Sainte Marie
While gazing at the bare rocky mountains, I remembered an article I read somewhere in the past.
The reason why there are few large trees in France is that the ancient Romans cut down all the trees for development, and the trees stopped growing.
Is that true?
The stunning Verdon Valley
The emerald blue Verdon river was so beautiful that I could only stand still in the majesty of nature.
Renault's favorite car being abused
The Alpilles Mountains, which are designated as a natural park, can be seen in front on the right.
Les-Beax-de-Provence, a village that merges with the cliffs of the Alpilles
The castle overlooks the Crow Plain and the Camargue Nature Park to the south.
On days when there was no shopping, I went to Fontaine-de-Vaucluse.
Fontaine-de-Vaucluse is known as the "Fountain of Vaucluse", a village with the most abundant spring in Europe.
The water level was low when we visited.
The source of the Sorgue, which flows through that L'lsle-sur-la-Sorgue, which eventually leads to the Rhône

And above all, the color of this river! ! !
The contrast between the vivid green color of the aquatic plants and moss on the riverbed and the rich colors of the surrounding nature is truly wonderful and beautiful.
walk along the river
Climb up to the castle ruins that can be seen from the village
It was off-season and less popular and quiet, but it was a beautiful place.
I want to visit again
I also visited Seguret, where the medieval streets still remain
this cobblestone
tension rises
The narrow stone-paved alleys are sloping, and the walls create the shade of the trees, making it cool and cool.
It seems to be comfortable even in summer
The origin of the name of this village where a strong fortress was once built
Derived from the Provençal word 'Ségur' (safe)
The view from the village is also wonderful.

Where are you going?
This is Lourmarin loved by great writers
Lourmarin Castle, a masterpiece of Renaissance architecture
I can't enter the castle because the receptionist is absent.
The streets were calm and very sunny.
Arles is also famous for its Roman ruins and the place where Van Gogh spent his time.
I couldn't go to the main sightseeing spots due to time constraints, but I feel like I was able to feel the source of the rich colors of Van Gogh and Gauguin.
After returning to Japan, I learned that the Lee Ufan Museum had opened in Arles.
A museum that Tadao Ando renovated a 16th century mansion
I didn't know, I'm very sorry that I couldn't go
I would love to see you next time! I would like to go
This is getting long, so the review ends here.
Tomorrow we will leave the south of France and move north.
