Vallon de Villaret

Up at the crack of dawn, ready for a 3 1/2 hour drive

Up into the mountains, hello forest, hello shade


Beautiful, intelligent contemporary art all around

Three tired, dirty but happy kids
dying to tell their friends that we met this gentleman halfway and finished the visit alongside his family


Another three hour drive, this time over this amazing viaduc
Home to the beautiful light in our garden

If you ever get the chance to visit the Vallon de Villaret you'll love it!
One of our best days out in ages.
