Les Baux was interesting, a rocky little hilltop village reportedly the most visited in France and judging by the number of cars and coaches this claim was believable.... Parking was the chaotic experience we are quickly getting used to..... but eventually we found our way into the car park, knowing we would need 5€ in small change to ever get out!! We wandered around this litle hilly, rocky, historicl town with its close association to the Grimaldi family of Grace Kelly and Monaco fame.
Aside from checking out the locality, we also needed to ok out the best way to get change. When we asked, suddenly, nobody spoke a recognizable word! Eventually we spent enough odd amounts in shops to gather the required amount and headed back to the car for our next destination, St Remy.
We put the exit ticket in the machine and voila! The machine lifted the barrier free gratis! Dohhhh.... We didn't need to buy those delicious hand made biscuits after all! Pity we shall have to eat them all!
Our lunch stop in St Remy was excellent... Nice restaurant, L' Aile ou la Cuisine, set in the refectory of a fomer convent, staff spoke Anglais and then K had his little accident.... It was an accident but I cried laughing, just couldn't stop. K cut into his tomato and items from his plate went in two directions...... The roast potato was easily retrieved, it didn't travel far, but I wonder if the nice French gentleman has found the mushroom in his coat pocket yet?
