Another Beautiful Day in Vaison-la-Romaine

Bonsoir!

Another beautiful day in Provence.  Had our usual french breakfast this morning and visited with a couple from Seattle.  Today we decided it was time for a hike to a nearby village called Crestet.  We headed out a little before 9:30AM and used our trusty hiking book to lead the way.  Going to the village was pretty easy - mostly paved/improved road and then a short stretch of wide graveled path.  Got to the village in about an 90 minutes.  Walked around a bit and saw the entire village in about 20-30 minutes.



Headed back to Vaison on a different route - a very narrow path that was originally used for the locals to get from Vaison to Crestet.



Then had to walk along a busy road for a mile or so.  Had some lunch in the old part of Vaison and then walked into town to visit the roman ruins. 



We walked about 10 miles today (20,000+ steps) so we are a bit tired.  Having a glass of wine at the B&B and relaxing.

Tomorrow we take a driving trip to Mont Ventoux (one of the major climbs on the Tour-de-France).  Should be a nice change.

We are off to the Super-U to get some basics.  Hope all is well with everyone back in the states.

Until tomorrow - au revoir.
