TdF Day 23 - Alpilles

Sunday is market day in Beaucaire and we felt we had to take a look. The town, apart from around the canal where expensive boats are found appears to very working class. The markets reflected this with mostly trashy merchandise and a disappointing food market.
We quickly moved on to look at nearby towns of Baux and St Remy de Provence in the Alpilles region. The countryside becomes more rugged and given over to vines and olives - just what you picture Provence to be.
Baux d P is build high on rocky outcrops and is classified as a beautiful village. Naturally on a sunny Sunday it was packed, so that we needed to walk uphill a long way from our car. The view and the town were worth the effort. Had another lovely lunch before Gail got a tablecloth that she loved ..... now we just need to get it home with all the baby clothes!
On to Saint Remy to battle more Sunday crowds, not helped by a fun fair going on in the middle. Fluked another car spot and had a wander around .... too many classy shops for my liking.
