Luberon - Week two

During the second week of August, we visited Arles, famous for its Roman Amphitheatre.

They organise Gladiator combats based on archaeological searches

(nothing to do with american epic films...) and the fighters have turned professionals

to live fully their passion for history.

I love the contrast between my daughter's fair complexion and blond hair

and this mediterranean sun tanned Gladiator !

 Outside the amphitheatre with my personal Gladiator...

 A visit around the harbour of Toulon

 Lourmarin, labelled as one of the Most Beautiful Villages of France

 and its famous Friday market

 Plaited Garlic, Olive oil and Fruit jam

  Provencal bread called Fougasse filled with either vegetables, goat cheese or anchovy.

All flavours for "saucisson" lovers : Savoie wine, nuts, herbs, goat cheese, thyme,
duck with green pepper and lavender...
