Saignon from above


This is Saignon, a town of 1045 people in Provence, located 2 miles up a hill from the medium sized town (25,000) of Apt. I took this on our first day in town. We went for a short walk and ended going up a trail for horses that led to this view. We passed 2 horses going up and on our way down we met a group of men on off-road motorcycles tearing along. They warned us that there was one more guy coming and indicated that he might not be paying attention. Sure enough he came roaring up on us at great speed. But, forewarned is forearmed and we has scurried up the hill.

Every year we discover new little byways and areas in this one little town, which will keep us coming back while we can.
