Provence Untour, Spring of 2004
by Bob and Marjorie Rhoads, Sullivan, MO

This trip log is to give one an idea of what can be done in the allotted time period. This is a very active trip log for those that want to see as much as possible in a short time. It may not be for everyong. We generally left our house at 9:00 A.M. and returned home from 5:00 to 7:00 P.M. This just lists places, not decriptions, as you can use your guide book for that. We stayed at Bruneau which has an annex with a separate bed and bath, ideal for two couples. We made this trip with Bill and Carol Frazer of Morgan Hill, CA. Restaurants are not listed, but generally we ate one meal out and one at home.
