olivier's parents, gilles and nicole, gave us a wonderful mediterranean experience
an early morning hike on the collonque
the semi-circle formation furthest away looks like a roman ruin, but it was just a really cool rock (that olivier's dad solo climbed in 9 minutes when he was in his 20's)
a tiny port at the end of the road near the chatel's house
the easy southern style officially posted- "go slowly in the mornings, not too fast in the evenings"
view from the notre dame de la garde overlooking the town
group pic (minus bruce)
en route to marseilles, we stopped in the village of romans to check out one of their main industries... shoes!
the chatel's beautiful house, just below the rock mountains of the collonque

gilles and nicole arranged for us to eat traditional bouillabaisse, a treat requiring an early request to the restaurant days in advance
ol took us swimming in the med at a local's spot. bruce broke his toe, ouch!
remembered on the beach front
let's not forget the reason for our grand adventure...
back to uriage, we stopped along the way at a couple of little villages, and to taste wine at the caveau de gigondas, north of avignon, east of orange
