Well, we sure are the lucky ones. The weather is amazing! Warm sunshine and temperatures around 20. We are all enjoying soaking up the sunshine after our long winter and defrosting a little. The evening and mornings are chilly and we need a coat but it is wonderful at mid day and I the afternoon.
Last night was great. We had an introductory meeting with champagne and roses for the ladies. Dinner was delicious . Service is good and the free wine even better..
Some of us enjoyed the entertainment in the lounge with the ' gypsy kings'... My favourite music.
Some went to bed early after a very long day..
This morning, we boarded a large bus for an excursion to the village of Les Baux de Provence. The village’s castle has a fascinating exhibit of medieval weapons. The village and fortress was a Protestant stronghold during the French Wars of religion until destroyed by Louis XIII and cardinal Richelieu in 1633. The village is beautiful with fabulous views and very enticing shops! My ladies had fun... And so did our mascot ,as you will see in the photos.
Later, we visited an olive farm to learn about this age-old Provençal farming tradition.
some ladies took the “Impressionist Experience” tour to the Saint Paul de Mausole Asylum, and later this afternoon, a city tour of Arles takes us to the Romanesque cathedral and the Roman Amphitheatre.
We sail at 5:30 pm to Avignon. More Photos to follow!
