Day 6 of our HONEYMOON IN FRANCE! Happy Election Day to everyone back home in Charlevoix! Keep it real... GO VOTE!

Today was FREEDOM DAY
We rented a car. 

Look at my sweeeeeeeeet ride!!
 We drove to Les Baux in Provence and toured a ruined castle atop a mountain. 
It was incredible! 


 It looked like the moon in some parts! And we were on this high perch overlooking seemingly all of Provence! Olive groves, lavender fields and vineyards everywhere!! I don't think the pictures even do it justice! 

The city was so cute too!! Absolutely charming! 


 We climbed like mountain goats up to the top of this castle. 
Quite a workout but it was more than worth it! Then we went to this place around the way from the castle called the Carrieres de Lumieres. 

It was recommended by quite a few customers and they were all right! It's a huge limestone quarry that they have like 20-30 giant projectors showing Marc Chagall works on every surface. All the walls, the ceiling and the floor. We love Chagall, and in this setting it was breathtaking!

The colors and the symbolism and the beauty were worth the trip alone! Both things today were so unique and fascinating! 
 The driving was great too. We ran into a major traffic jam but it didn't break our stride! It's FRANCE! We happy! 

 We have a pretty good GPS in our little Renault hatchback and it was a huge help! It felt great to drive! And I was glad it was a car we can't get in America!


 DINNER TIME!
 We came back to Avignon and had an amazing meal for dinner at a restaurant called L'Epicerie, I had shrimp with the heads on with some chorizo risotto and Emily had a hazelnut encrusted veal steak with a chestnut compote and mashed turnips, both were truly outstanding!! 



Another wonderful day in France. We spent a lot of time talking about what to ideas to bring home to make That French Place even better! We have lots! We aren't looking forward to leaving France, but when we do we will be fully recharged and ready to rock and roll to make our little slice of France in Charlevoix as great as it can be! 

:)

 Good night from Avignon! 
 


GO OUT AND VOTE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
