Memories of France October 2006 - Sur le Pont d'Avignon

Two years ago we spent a week holliday in the Provence,in the South of France.

We stayed in an apartment in St Cecille les Vignes and made a lot of trips to explore the area. Now we know why Vincent van Gogh spent the last years of his life in this area. The light is so beautiful that everything looks warm and nice. We had a great time and looking at these photo's again makes me wanna go back a.s.a.p.
