Les Montagnes en Provence

























During our stay in Aix en Provence we decided to hire a car for a few days so that we could explore the surrounding countryside.  We headed east toward Montagne Sainte Victoire, northward through Montagne du Lubéron and west to Avignon.  The villages of Bonnieux, Lacoste and Ménerbes were so picturesque perching on hillsides overlooking wine country below.  The streets were quiet when we passed through so we simply stopped here and there to have a peek and then meander on.  While we throughly enjoyed the beautiful countryside bathed in soft winter light it made me wonder how vibrant Provence would be in late spring.  Something to come back for, perhaps next year.
