Eighth day in Provence, and feeling so very blessed.

For our drivers, beautiful rooms, cooks of fabulous meals.

After breakfast, we again left at 9am for Apt.

Apt is a town in the Vaucluse department in the 

Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region in southeastern France.

 It is the principal town of the Luberon mountains. 

I walked up through the market, open to locals every Saturday 10-1. It was crowded with shoppers for meats, cheese, vegetables, sweets, lavender, books, clothing, sunglasses, flowers and the like.

 

I walked way up into the Apt residential hills.

 Sharing a few pleasant architectural beauties along the way.

I passed some construction, and shot the earth, 

showing the natural ochre that was discovered native to this area.

After 2 hours  of walking uphill,

I returned to the market place to find a seat.

I made my first Coca-Cola in France, last an hour.

Then I met Bonnie & Jane and we went to lunch together.

It was delicious. Some got gelato and ate it one way to our 
meeting point for the drive home. We arrived at 2:45pm.

Normally, I take a delicious afternoon nap, but today

I have to bite the bullet and do laundry and this blog.
Au revoir from France,

A smile for Saturday ...
