Something different - Monday 30 June

St. Saturnin map

Our last full day in Provence.

A bad nights sleep lead to Allan going back to bed after breakfast while I completed blogs.  So it was late morning when we hit the road again.

First to our local - St. Saturnin - to find yet again it was largely closed.

Then off to Bonneiux - where we had lunch last time with the kids,  With more time to explore it was a fascinating place - again with shops dug into the side of the hill.  And as usual it seemed we were always walking uphill!

Great views though!

We took some photos from up top and then tried to find somewhere to eat out of the wind which had come up significantly.

Lunch was interesting, I had tomato tartar and steak tartar, while Allan had grav lax and duck kebabs.

Then we entrusted our navigatrix (the most polite thing we call the GPS voice) to take us to Ansouis.  It doesn't help that she slips in wrong directions every now and then, saying right and showing left, taking us through carparks and scary little streets instead of main roads.

Ansouis

We went to Ansouis largely because it had "Musee Extradordinaire", basically a museum with weird stuff in it.

The museum is run by the children (in their 50s) of Georges Mazoyer who spent decades diving around the world.  This had all the stuff he collectedon his travels along with his quirky paintings and sculptures.  Quite bizarre.

Outside the Musee

They even had a blue grotto with sea creatures hung up in it.

After the musee we came home via some brief clothes shopping in Apt.
