Arles, France

French Flamingos, Black Bulls and Happy Horses, Day 1

France is frenchy. We went to the Inter Marche super (super market), and the Camargue, (don't say the 'U'). The Camargue is a nature reserve, it has bulls white horses and mostly flamingos. When we went to the Camargue it was very windy. The flamingos were funny to watch, especially when they tried to fly. There was a few other birds, like ducks and herons. The white horses were so beautiful there manes looked perfect, and wild. The bulls weren't very exiting.

Down Day, Day 2
This was a sit on your bum and look at a screen day. We did go for a walk, once.

Pont du Gard, Day 3
The second tallest roman structure and largest roman arch presenting.... Pont du Gard! Pont du Gard is an aquaduct. Aquaducts are big, no big is too small a word, ginormous stone arches that on top carried water to the villages. The bricks outlining the arch are as wide as I am tall

Can you find us?

Arles, Day 4

This day we went to the market and bought really yummy olive, tomato paste, cheese and fresh bread and then had a picnic lunch. Yum! Then we walked around and found some of Van Gogh’s Easels. We went to the grocery store and bought eggplant, zucchini and peppers and made Ratatouille which is originally from this area of France.

Our Picnic Lunch, that's me with the olive spread

Did you know that these things are more fun when you're older?

Les Baux, Day 5

Les Baux was a medieval castle set on a hill. Les Baux was attacked by the king because the people from Lex Baux did not want to follow the king and the king was very angry about that. They kept pigeons in a special room because they ate their eggs and ate the pigeons and kept their poop for fertilizer. And they built their buildings, not out of rock, but into the rock.

It wasn't me

Peek a boo

Camargue, Day 6

The flamingos at the Camargue nature reserve had very pink legs that were as skinny as sticks and they slept on one foot with their head and neck curled up onto their back.
