Day 48 - June 12: Aix-en-Provence to Bonnieux (31mi/50km)

Country roads, and the beginning of the Provence tourist gauntlet.

First stop out of Aix was Loumarin where we Chateau peeped.

And lunch by this interesting, but dry fountain

There’s Bonnieux!

We take a walk around Bonnieux, first up to the “old church” (12 cen) where there’s a great view around the valley

All the way to Mt. Ventoux (hazy)

Windows

Doors

Down down down

And up up up

Trogolydic garages

Alleys

Fresh chevre in the convenience store

Town water source, but no more. Sad after Italy that there are no public potable water sources in French towns.

A newish cathedral with nice windows

Then we hang out in the square for a while just watching the shenanigans of modern traffic in medieval streets.

Whoops, our of order, but a good sunset view of Bonnieux.

Healthy salads for dinner (ignore the side of frites!) overlooking the valley.

Back to the room to sit on the balcony, watch the swallows and the fading light over town and Mt. Ventoux.
