Provence Day Three: Lacoste to Ménerbes

Pathway

The third day of our walk started as dreary and overcast and not much changed during the entire day. But varying weather is part of the challenge of doing a multi-day walk like our one in Provence.

The path above was typical of our day. At times we were in more open countryside, but in many cases we were walking paths through the forest. Moments after this picture was taken, a group of school kids and their coaches went by on bicycles, all wearing their school colors.

Quarry

In the afternoon, we passed a large quarry. We do not have any details of the quarry, but the hillside and all of the quarry blocks made an impression on us. It is difficult to know the scale of the quarry, but if look carefully to the left of the quarry opening you should be able to make out a car. If you cannot see the car, it's because the opening the quarry is so large that it dwarfs the car.
