CARRY LE ROUET, PROVENCE, FRANCE

We arrived here the Saturday before Easter to Anne Navarra's villa overlooking the Mediterranean about 15 miles west of Marseille. Scotty arrived from San Diego on Sunday for the week and Julie and Jim arrived on Friday for the weekend. We toured all around Provence,  tasting wines, having picnics throughout the countryside and seeing the hilltop towns of Provence including Gordes, Avignon, Les Baux, Arles and Chateauneuf du Pape.  We visited the Abbey of Senanque where every Provence poster of Lavender is photographed.We also headed along the coast towards Monte Carlo, our ultimate destination. We stopped at Cannes for lunch, the hilltop city of Eze and a night at the Casino for Scotty! We enjoyed our week there while the Mistal winds blew and we wished for a bit warmer weather so we could enjoy the pool.
