Provence

From there we traveled up the coast to the city of Arles, France and visited the vineyards in Provence. By chance we found a beautiful hotel , Les Florets, where they are well known for their gourmet food. We had an exquisite meal of roast and vegetables and finished with a yummy indulgent dessert. I didn’t take o photo of the main meal but did get one of the squash soup I had earlier in the day along with the dessert from Les Florets.
