France - History, lavender and gorges

28 June - a full day's drive with many interesting stops along the way

Sisteron in early morning light.  We arrived too early to look inside the high citadel, but instead explored the old town centre, with buildings dating back to the 13th century.




A Saturday market was in progress - luscious summer fruits!
We are now in Provence - many fields of lavender.

Moustiers Sainte Marie.  We climbed up many steps to the Chapel Notre Dame de Beavoir.
Driving towards the Gorges du Verdon - "the Grand Canyon of Europe"

Views while driving the"Route des Cretes" - a 23 km circuit with many spectacular lookouts.  Part of the road is one way only.
