Medieval Times

We got up early and took a hike to a tiny chapel nestled on a cliff in the Alps. The hike was about two hours, and we enjoyed spectacular views of the Alps, the deep canyon, and saw a Chamois sheep in the wild! Then we took off to the Medieval town of Entreveaux, which was formally on the boarder of the Provence kingdom and Italy. It is still a fortress/walled city and you have to cross a huge drawbridge to get into the city that is topped by a magnificent zigg-zagg trail to a citadel. We had our first crepe lunch with some delicious local Secce de Beouf (dried beef like Speck). Tonight we are back at the Gite making a traditional Provencal dinner of green lentils with bacon, carrots, and topped with lamp sausage, a salad of arugula, endive, and mache, and an assortment of French cheese and of course- bread. Ah, life is rough.
