Holiday in France

I just got back from a 10-days holiday in France.  
What a great holiday full of discoveries and gorgeous weather. I stayed a few days in the South of France discovering the villages of Séguret, Sablet and Vaison-la-Romaine before going to la Ville Lumière. 
Here's a brief summary of my journey.
It started in the small village of Séguret, hometown of my sweetheart. 

Séguret is a small village in Vaucluse. It is surrounded by the dentelles de Montmirail and the Mont Ventoux. It belongs to one of the most beautiful villages of France. The village lies at the foot of a hill topped by the ruins of its feudal castle. And it is also famous for its excellent Côtes du Rhône wine. More infos about Séguret here: http://www.provenceweb.fr/e/vaucluse/seg

                                  

  

 

We chilled out on Sunday afternoon at the lac du Paty and were darous enough to have a swim in the oh so cold water.

I then explored the lovely medieval town of Vaison-la-Romaine and bought some local products on the  weekly market. One of the most interesting aspects of the town is its geography and its Roman ruins. The Roman ruins and the modern town are in the valley on the banks of the river Ouvèze which is crossed by an ancient bridge from the 1st century AD.

During my stay in Provence I met lovely and interesting people. My sweetheart's family give me a very warm welcome and made me discover great spots, such as the Groseau waterfall.

We then headed back north to enjoy the rest of our holidays in Paris. Thanks to the gorgeous weather we enjoyed lovely walks and picnics and lots of ice creams...  
It was the week of the Paris movie festival and there were a few belgian movies on the list. We chose to watch Kid, a tough and deep movie from Fien Troch. We also went to the Cité de la Musique and view a very interesting exhibition dedicated to music and cinema (Musique et cinéma: le mariage du siècle).

I really enjoyed my time in France. I came back full of energy, with a lovely colour on my natural pale skin :-) and with more love in my heart.
