No soccer today, you'd think it would be a day of rest? Alors!
Yesterday, we drove from Lyon down to the beautiful small town of
Regusse, in the heart of Provence. Becks found us a
fantastic two bedroom AirBnb with a luxurious bathroom, a washer and dryer, a swimming pool, and the most delightful hosts imaginable. They made it feel like a combination of a real BnB as well as being guests in someone's home. Highly recommended!
Anyway, Becks had identified, and our hosts confirmed, that the hike to do was the
Blanc Martel Trail through the
Verdon Gorge. Here is a snapshot of what we did:
Basically, we hiked down a deep deep gorge, went up and down a lot (more than I expected) and the hiked back up. Total stats: 4.5 hours 28,000 steps, 11.8 miles, and 149 "ascending flights."
Here are some photos of the view from various elevations:

| At the end, we went through a long tunnel and this was one of the lookouts |
