France - Wild flowers, gorges and the French Resistance

26 June - A very interesting drive through some spectacular scenery heading SE towards Malaucene where we camped for the night.



We drove through the amazing Gorges de la Bourne with many rock overhangs over the road

A visit to Grotte de la Luire.  A moving reminder of the courage and tragedy of French Resistance fighters in WWII.  Fifteen hospital workers were found by the Germans and killed here in this rocky grotto.
There was a tremendous network of caves, tunnels and tracks used by the French Resistance.
Quite a drive down from the Col de Rousset 1367m
Road tunnel through Col de Mente
The village of Chichilianne backed by the high block of Mont Aiguille
