60 Million Years in 45 Minutes............In Provence

Discovered in 1902 during quarrying, the Thouzon Grottos remained intact thanks to its immediate preservation. Hidden Splendors of our planet, and permanent magical spectacle of the mineral world in which work water has left its mark, it will amaze you with its stunning golden yellow fistulous stalactites that are the centerpieces. The Thouzon grottos, underground gem, is the only natural cave open to visits in Provence.

One Of The Best Places You've Never Heard Of...

At the end of May I am off for 2 weeks to visit and explore an area of France that most tourists have never heard of and yet it is one of the most spectacular and untouched areas within all of France, it is known as the Jura.
A picture is worth a thousand words..so here it is........

Dreaming Of France...............

Benjamin Franklin once remarked:
“Every civilized person has two homelands, and France is always one of them.”

So, next time in France, you should consider barging through the Burgundy Canals.

Electric Bikes To Rent in Provence

The weather was gorgeous in Provence last weekend (my friends in Avignon told me this morning). That weekend was the launch  for Sun-e-Bikes in the Luberon. They've got 200 new electric bikes for rent and you can pick them up and drop them off in any of three villages. There are battery charging stations along the way and rates are very reasonable.

On the back of the bike is very thin battery pack.

Lake St Remy de Provence ( a man-made lake) nearby and if the weather is good, a place to have a picnic.
