We started with our local villages - Reilhanette and Montbrun-Les-Bains and then drove past many hilltop villages and saw lavender fields, plantations of olive trees, and even a chapel perched high on a huge rock.
Outside our air-conditioned car it was 35 degrees for much of the day.
We had lunch in Mollans-sur-Ouveze and ended our day at Brantes, a village we last went to 19 years ago. We even found the same potter we'd bought a gift for Cherry from in 1996 and bought from him again.
Only one restaurant in Montbrun-Les-Bains was open on Sunday night and of course it was fully booked so we went for a drive to some nearby towns high on a plateau (nearly 1000 metres altitude) and saw more lavender fields than ever. Found a nice bistro in Saint Trinit and both jumped at the chance to have a hamburger, a sure sign we've almost had enough French food.
