Provencal mass and Roussataïo in Bouillargues

Bouillargues and its august festivities = friends, apéritifs, lunch & dinner, horses and bulls - I love it!

Roussataïo (old tradition consisting of herding mares and foals to new grazing grounds) celebrated with camargue horses herded through Bouillargues streets by gardians in traditional dress (mounted cattle hersdmen in the Camargue delta in Provence).

Monaco


Wandering in the neighborhood, we had to have a walk in Monaco.



Got to pose on the rock with youth. Similar pics taken a few years ago - place has not changed only the models have :)

Côte d'Azur - Eze Bord de Mer

Once again, it was great to laze around in Eze Bord de Mer.
 




 
 
Beautiful pebbles beach, the water was chrystal clear and youth enjoyed the paddle board even though they would have loved to try the fly board!

 


 
Thanks to Coco we just had a great time! Merci :)

Alès - at the foot of the Cévennes

In a region with warm weather, the Mediterranean blue sky and a singing accent, in a beautiful scenery where olive and chestnut trees coexist with vineyards, between garrigues and mountains, you can find the city of Alés. An ideal entry door to go to the discovery of the secret Cévennes mountains.
 
 
 

 
 
 
 
 

 

 

garrigues: open shrubby vegetation of dry Mediterranean regions, consisting of spiny or aromatic dwarf shrubs interspersed with colourful ephemeral species.

Ardèche Gorges - The Grand Canyon of Europe

 
 
Around 60km north from Alés, the Ardèche Gorges sit at the base of the Massif Central, below the Cévennes Mountains.



Spectacular limetstone cliffs tower the river meadering below.


 

 
Extraordinary natural beauty
 
 



 


Enjoy canyoning down the river over a distance of your choice. The best location to appreciate the magnificent scenery, spectular views - A great experience!

Don't forget plenty water and sun cream and if you decide to go on a longer distance bring along lunch and snacks.

We did yesterday and it was just a great day !
