We spent almost a week in Provence before heading North. There was so much to see and photograph in the region that we have split it up into three blog entries.
First up is what the place is known for, its natural beauty.
We happened to be in Provence during the blossom season. As a result, much of our driving was interrupted by Yaz squealing over the pink and white trees.
While we say natural beauty, of course much of the landscapes has been manicured into magnificent green fields.
Even more manicured was this garden at an abbey near Avignon.
Aren't daffodils pretty?
We spent Thursday maxin' and relaxin' in the Camargue.
The Camargue is a wetlands area at the mouth of the Rhône River. It is famous for its semi-wild white horses known unsurprisingly as the Camargue horse.
Throughout the reserve you can also find red squirrels in the trees and nutria in the swamps.
The area is home to over 400 bird species.
While they are all over the reserve, we saw the most birds at the bird park.
Other than herons, egrets and mallards this is also one of the best places in Europe to see the greater flamingo.
Stay tuned for our next entry on Provence which will aaargh...
