Gordes & Avignon markets

Today we did the perfect Luberon Villages Drive. We started with breakfast at a local market in Avignon. The food was spectacular. Huge fat white asparagus, heirloom tomatoes as big as dinner plates and endless varieties of cheese, bread and prepared food. The paella stall had a pan the size of a wagon wheel. We stopped to explore the chateau in Lourmarin → had a wander in Gordes → a wine in Fontaine De Vaucluse beside the turquoise waters and a couple of wines in the main square at L’isle Sur La Sorgue. The weather was warm and sunny, and the views were spectacular. This is the sort of day that makes the flights worthwhile.Read more
