We had a great welcome to Sarrians with Steve meeting us at the Marseille airport. A little mixup with our rental car... my reservation was for the wrong airport but it turned out much better. We got a larger car... a Renault that is an automatic and has built in GPS so they deducted money from the week's rental. Followed our friend Steve back to the house in Sarrians where we are staying with the Shiota-Schofield clan. Renee made a fabulous dinner that had all the flavors of Provence... lemon, garlic, chicken, pasta, wine, fresh lavender outside... lovely!
Here's a link to the villa we are staying... http://www.la-lavande.com/
Today we took a trip to Port du Gard and it was wonderful to have the big car... we all fit into one car. And we discovered there is a HUGE sunroof that was a surprise. Here is the description of Port du Gard and some photos.

Tonight we went to the supermarket and had steak and burgers and amazing salad and mushrooms and rice and wine! Kids have had a great time since we arrived back from Port du Gard in the swimming pool at the villa.
Plotting our plans for tomorrow! It's going to be good!
Oh non! I feel bad since I am the one responsible for taking the wrong airport.... did not know that Marseille had two airports (not that it is an excuse). Glad it ended up well and looking forward to reading about your adventures.
ReplyDeleteLydie... no problem! Worked out much better but for some reason the airport was Montpelier or something like that. The bigger, cheaper car is working GREAT! Tres Bon!
