Cherries, Lavender, and Sunflowers

We took the scenic route after leaving the Pont du Gard. The car’s built in navigation directed us along questionably narrow roads but rewarded us with fantastic views and stopping points as we idled along.

One highlight our guests had requested was to see lavender fields. We had previously researched the most likely locations but nevertheless were delighted when our research paid off.
