South France exploring

We continued our drive north following another Camino trail route in our car stopping at old villages and tiny hamlets and learning about local food traditions of region and other conversations with French folks we run into. There are very few if any American tourists that come to these farming communities and now late in the season so we are pretty unique. Devik our host hasn’t had an American stay at his popular bed and breakfast in 4 years !

Last night we stayed in at a remote farm house with an owner originally from South Africa who is a painter and carefully rebuilding his 200-400 or old house from the original stone walls and lime.

Bon jour ! Everyone has to greet each other with a happy Bon jour ! Every hiker or person on the street – it’s always Bon jour!!
