Last year in November we met our friend's Roy & Andrea in Berlin.
This year, it was their turn to come to us.
And as the tourist season is quietening it was an opportunity to get out and about without the hustle & bustle normally found in some of our villages and larger towns.
A good place to start is at the Moulin in our own village.
From here there is a great photo opportunity looking back over the village.
Next stop, Gordes, at the viewing point Roy & Andrea.
It is always packed in high season. In fact, reputedly this year 3 million people visited the tourist office!
From here we head to one of our favourite places, Avignon.
The ladies are ready to shop!
No time for shopping! As ever we arrive at just after midday, time to eat and we enjoy a splendid lunch in L'Opera restaurant.
After which, time to walk around a small part of this lovely historic town.
One of the many Museums, Musee du Petit Palais.
The famous bridge 'Pont St Benezet', originally built in the 12th Century and rebuilt in the 17th Century.
'our lady almighty' , a gift from Pope John XXII in the 14th Century.
The Palais des Papes, formerly home to nine Popes, is set on foundations of rock.
The quiet back streets hide many wonderful buildings.
Before heading home time for a refreshment and some people watching in one of the many cafes.
Next day, in Roussillon, sheltering from a rather gusty wind!
We had a thoroughly enjoyable few days.
