Rose Cantine

I am back from Provence and Languedoc-Roussillon and have posted my entire photoset on Flickr. What I loved about this trip was the absolute tranquility in villages such as Blauzac and Saignon where I spent the better part of the holiday. No Internet access and no TV!

Over the next few days, I will be posting travel notes about the different places I visited. The most impressive places to see in Languedoc are the Roman aqueduct at Pont du Gard and the Roman arena in Nîmes, which is quite large — certainly larger than the one in Arles (a town I did not like at all) — and they hold bullfights there, too (blood sports have not completely disappeared into the mists of history).
