A Beautiful Dream! Part Two – Visiting the Hilltop Villages of Provence!
Have you ever had a dream so beautiful that it felt real…I did…and it was. Welcome to Part Two of my dreamy journey to France, Italy, and Spain!
On the second day, I visited Pont Du Gard and the hilltop villages of Roussillon, Les Baux, Fontaine-de-Vaucluse, and Gordes. The scenery was breathtakingly beautiful. The food was delicious. The inspiration was priceless. I loved walking through the winding streets lined with both bustling shops and quiet sacred places to rest. I think Roussillon was the most beautiful, but the others each had their own individual charm.
I purchased a few lovely watercolors from an artist at the market in Roussillon. She is not online, but her name was Dominique. In Les Baux, I found a soap shop, and in Gordes, the highlight was actually an art exhibit of an amazing artist 2L. Her work speaks the language of life and healing to my soul, and stumbling into her free exhibition was the dessert of the day. Some other color-soaked highlights from the day are below.
It was a full day with very little downtime, but here is a humble offering from my sketchbook for this day.
