Maussane les Alpilles. South of France.



This picture taken by Sam is from Sunday. We decided to go explore the countryside close to the Baux de Provence. We drove to Maussane les Alpilles and walked by this old charming place. We didn't take a lot of pictures, the light wasn't good. We even got caught in a major storm. Lightening, thunder, pooring down rain. We got completely drenched to the point that we couldn't wear our soaked pants in the car on the way back... Stopping at the self service gas station was rather interesting!



I'm adding this picture stolen from the web to give you any idea of where we went. We saw a lot of orchards with olive trees. There are 37,000 olive trees around Maussane. They supposedly make really good olive oil. Have you ever tried to bite a fresh olive? I did and will never try it again.
