Celebrating the Fourth of July in style
Exploring Le Jardin d'Eden in Tournon with the resident "Chat"
The ship was a great place to relax on a HOT July day.
Enjoying a guided "Ghost Walk" in Viviers. It was lovely to stroll among the Plane trees. It is said that Napoleon ordered them to be planted to provide shade for his troops.
A discovery excursion to Bollene Lock and Hydo-Power Plant in Avignon
The lavender fields were in bloom and were a treat for the eyes and nose!
A walk along the cobblestone streets in Arles brought us to the grand Roman amphitheater which is still used today.
In the amphitheater we met a retired bullfighter and learn about the tradition of bullfighting in France. A Nextourist was chosen to try on his bullfighting garb.
Vincent Van Gogh lived in Arles for a while. It was fun to see the places he painted while there. This is the hospital where he spent time recovering from the loss of an ear.
A river boat is a great place to celebrate a birthday!
