blue doors


We started this morning with a beautiful breakfast spread, jams, coffee, fruits in a sunny dining room at the hotel.


Making our way gradually north toward home, we stopped in L'Isle-sur-la-Sorgue, marveled at all the quirky antiques at the street brocante, and caught the end of the produce market for some delicious olives and clementines.


We found our picnic spot at the base of Venasque before making the trip up to wander the little hilltop town. 


I was especially intrigued by the short, colorful doorways, stopping for too many photos of the portes de la Provence. From here, it was time to make our way back to the highway and home. I hope to make another trip south when the lavender and poppy fields are in bloom, but it's also nice to enjoy Provence as it's just beginning to come out of hibernation.
