The lovely south of France

Our gorgeous B&B in Rousillon

Many days sitting by the pool like this - only thing to keep us cool in 38 degrees!
One of many lavender fields


The small village of Joucas

Lunch in Goult
Avignon town


We got the Eurostar direct from Kings Cross London to Avignon in the south of France for a week holiday. Pure luxury!!! Such an easy way to get to our destination - no airports, no lengthy security, just sitting on a lovely train and arriving in heaven 5 hours later.

Once in Avignon we hired a car and drove to our little village of Rousillon where our B&B was. Driving through vineyards, olive trees and lavender fields. Weather was in the high thirties every day and we spent most days eating, drinking, sleeping by the pool and swimming. Very relaxing.

We drove between the small villages for an adventure each day, but didn't really go too far. We decided this was a relaxing holiday and we didn't want to try and do everything like we normally would. Every village was gorgeous... quiet and quaint.
