    I bicycled in Europe from 1993 to my last bike trip there in 2010. This particular episode brought back great memories; Provence was by far my favorite area; the food, the wines, the markets, the joie de vivre of the people. I really miss that part of Europe. I hope I get a chance to go back one day, as soon as it is safer to travel.

      yes indeed! If you can find the director's edition of "Lust For Life" (the Kird Douglas film about the life of the artist van Gogh,he relates how while fiming in a cafe (frequented by Van Gogh); Jeanne Calment saw Douglas and reacted as if she had seen a ghost! Douglas physically resembled Van Gogh-and Mrs. Calment recalled that she had seen van Gogh in the same cafe, over 70 years before!

    Congratulations sir this is a very good description of the Provencal way of life and traditions. In Provence it is possible to find some circular middle aged village called corculades . These villages are built around the village castle and the central place. One of the best exemple is Montpezat 18 kilometers from the City of Nîmes. Anyway your presentation is one of the best I have ever seen. Let's visit the Provence and appreciate its way of life and historical monuments.

    I got a chance to explore this region more thoroughly on my last bicycle trip, coming from the medieval city of Carcasonne. I was in too much of a hurry to get to Germany on my last trip even to do more than an overnigh on the edge of Avignon. This second trip along the French Med, I'm getting a little more familiar, but the French don't make even this tourist area great for cyclists.
    I stayed in a hotel within sight of the Nimes Amphitheatre, visited the Maison Carree, and rode across the Pont Du Gard on my way to Avignon.
    I still missed Arles. I'm hooked on Roman history. I'm sure I'll get another chance to visit.
