    I love these photos and the carnival atmosphere they convey, reminds me of all the little carnivals held in small country towns here in Australia.

    Vicki, I've never been to any part of Provence, except if it was drivable for dinner when we were on the coast. Everyone in blogland makes me wish I had known what you know.

    Here a town away, in Maussane(and I believe, St. Remy, too) it is all about the bulls...
