| Having an outdoor lunch next to the Sorgue River at Fountain de Vaucluse. |
 |
| The Sorgue River in southern France begins begins at the bottom of this cliff. |
 |
| At the foot of the cliff is a basin (the cave) with a pond which contains water from a vertical spring that has been explored to at least 308 meters deep. |
 |
| The spring has an average annual flow of 630 million cubic meters of water--a torrent in the spring and calm during the summer. |
 |
| It was calm and beautiful the day we saw it. |
 |
| We stopped and toured the paper mill at the side of the river. |
 |
| A hike to the castle above Vaucluse built in the 1200s. |
 |
| The next day we toured Chateau de La Barben, a castle mentioned in a 1064 property register. They have turned it into a reception/bed and breakfast, but still maintain 12 rooms for tours. Fascinating! |
 |
| Walking into downtown Greoux for some bread, we found this car for sale. Wayne was tempted! The local vegetable and fruit stand is behind it. |
