Provence Untour, Spring of 2004
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.
