Castellane in Provence, France

in #travel7 years ago

image.png
I had been driving around in the Provence, France and passed through the town of Castellane, which is a really old city situated upstream of the Gorges du Verdon. There was a slight overcast over this mountain where I saw this spectacle. I pulled over, took out the Camembert cheese, croissants, along with the French wine I bought from the town below. I drove further to discover a spot for a little romantic picnic all by my lonesome.

The Sun would break loose from the clouds every so often and illuminate the city below, I could not resist this drama of light and I was expecting it would illuminate the granite face which had an iconic church. I hurried to my car and took out my camera and tripod...by luck, this picture came to fruition, it is one of just two pictures I took of the region.

i've been to Provence and im planning to go back there, although my favorite french city was not in Provence but in the alps, it is a city called Annecy

Haven't been! Eventually I'll have to check it out cause the south of France is one of my favorite places to visit.

I would love to go there.looks like a nice place to grow up

Haven’t been there but we did go to Bordeaux earlier this year and just loved it, especially all the bakeries!! Great shot once again!

Wine and croissants, the French knows how to live it up!

They sure do!

This is so beautiful, well worth stopping for the shot! My wife hates flying so our plan is to stay in the uk in 2018 and save for a camper van for some European road trips in 2019!

I think driving around is much better than flying :)

Absolutely! I think we're done with flying now, it's just too much hassle and discomfort!

amazing, i love it
