Sunday 27th April - rest day
We planned our stay here in Provence to give us a bit of a breather. After hitting all the touristy spots the past 4 days, we decided to check out one of the beautiful villages from our book -Ansouis. It had been raining overnight but not enough to keep us home. This was only a short drive away and on good roads with very little traffic. This village dates back to 12th and 13th century - perched on the top of a hill. We wandered the streets - all the way up, then all the way down. Unfortunately the guided tour of the Chateau wasn't until 3pm. We didn't plan to stay that long. But the village did own a fabulous patisserie. We need to support these small local businesses - don't we???

| Sculpture of Saint Elzear - not sure what his claim to fame was. |
 |
| Inside of the church - very dark and not very ornqte. |
 |
There was an exhibition of pastel works
- some lovely bird and animal pieces including this puffin. |
 |
| Beautiful street scenes. |
Dog of the day- cross between a whippet and bedlington whippet.

| Looking back to the village of Ansouis. |
Time for a supermarket shop in a nearby bigger town - Sunday and shops shut at 1. We are loaded up now with groceries for a couple of days - maybe.
Tonight we pack ready to move on tomorrow. Heading north to Lyon tomorrow night.
