Bienvenue a Chasteuil

Today we left St-Cyr and took a scenic route to Chasteuil stopping for an hour or two at a cool Abbey built in the 1100's, and then a long Provencal lunch on the shores of a lake. The drive was really spectacular especially as we drove along the Gorges du Verdon, known as the Grand Canyon of France. The kids are adjusting to the Gite in this tiny village of 28 people where there is only ONE internet connection and NO wi-fi (it's a rough adjustment for them, but I think they'll survive) :).
This village really is so secluded and out of the way, totally off the map. We are nestled in the Maritime Alps, which are spectacular, and surrounded by amazing wilderness, Medieval towns, and plenty of hiking and exploring opportunities.
