Sault -- Lavender

I am sitting at an outdoor cafe in Sault. It was a wild drive up and around the mountains to reach this beautiful place filled with lavender fields.

It's lunch time. The view  looks out and down to the fields; greens, golden hues, and light lavenders to deep purples.

Off in the distance is Mount Ventoux. It stands out cream colored against a pastel blue sky.

Here, as with all the other places I have visited, the swallows are busily flying about in search of food, and squealing all the way.

Across in the park, a group of men are playing bolles, (a giant game of marbles?) in the shade of the trees.

I took the "touristique" (scenic) route down. WOW! The photo below shows two tunnels through rock that I drove through. The road twisted and turned and switched back and came around with the rock climbing to my right and a deep drop off to the left. The road was just rode enough for two cars. It was both dizzying and and dazzling.
