Fontaine de Vaucluse

The river Sorgue wells up from a hole in the ground that is at least 300 meters deep and not fully explored. At the time of melting snow, it wells up with much force, but in summer it is more peaceful. If you go near, you can see very far down, because the water is very clear.

Kiosk

When you get to Fontaine de Vaucluse on a hot summer’s day, you are greeted by many restaurants, kiosks and souvenir shops, with prices rising up to the occasion.

Raft

It is said you can cross the river Ardeche in summer without getting your feet wet, just by stepping from one tourist’s canoe to the next.

Tent

If you go camping, you may wonder if the tent is still there on your return from a day trip, or if the Mistral wind has blown it away.

French bread

The French bread has only a few varieties (“baguette” and “flute”) that are not so different to begin with. But with olives, tomatoes and salat it makes a very good lunch on a hot day. And they have 300 sorts of cheese to choose from!
