We opted to eat breakfast at this outdoor cafe before heading home. It was delightful and tasty.
On our way home we toured through the countryside toward Aix-en-Provence, looking for poppy fields, cute villages and green fields with stones.
We settled in for lunch and a nice village stroll in Mènerbes.
The outside dining experience and the view of Mont Ventoux were peaceful and relaxing.
The village was simple, quaint and perfect for our exploration.
A drive through downtown Avignon showed us more fortified castle walls and the “bridge of Avignon.”
We never found a field of poppies. Randy eventually stopped by a few poppies so I could snag a few photos along a wooden fence.
Ironically the poppy fields surrounding our village bloomed while we were gone. This one was taken a few days later. The Pic saint Loup is emerging from the background. This has become a landmark for us, giving us timing as to how far away we are from home.
