After the race Randy took us to a church ruin in the area, Notre Dame la Brune. I do not think I will ever tire from exploring ruins. The stones hold so many memories. The structure’s dilapidation has a story of its own. This one contained a plaque which was helpful, especially after I used Google translate to read it in English.
The next day, after breakfast and leaving our airbnb, we found a disc golf course on the way home. Happiness and joy could be seen in our steps. We also found a restaurant that served the best burgers and pasta. Thank you Chez Fred.
We took a slightly longer route home and came across Vallon-Pont-d’Arc. We had no idea what to expect. The overlook at the top was incredible. I felt like an eagle soaring through the sky while looking below at the earth. The vintage VW was fun to admire.
Once we descended the mountain we found a spot to park. We took a mini hike complete with a swim for Cody and a skipping rock competition for us.
Around the bend the focus of our journey came into view, the arc.
Upon leaving the natural area we found an opened nougat store, which is famous in this part of France. While Randy ventured in the store, the kids and I watched a video on how to make nougat from the car.
