We spent the early afternoon at this small village hugging the one of the Alpilles (ahl-pee) mountainsides. No cars are allowed in the village so we parked on the road and climbed the steps. It was quite loud from the cicadas buzzing away!
We made our way to the "Dead City" which is the ruins of a medieval citadel and castle. It had plenty of history and picturesque views but it was hot, hot, hot! We did as much as we could (which would have been fascinating, but we were quickly done in by the heat and hurried off the mountaintop to the village below. Bypassing the numerous gift shops, we made our way directly to a hillside restaurant with shade, cool drinks and delicious food.
