Gordes and Glanum


<-- Glanum was a quick stop to wake Ollie up. We didn't want him to sleep for too long. Sadly it was late in the afternoon, so we only saw a bit of it. It seems like it was a decent sized town, with a heap of ruins to see.

quick stop at Glanum -->



Gordes was voted one of the prettiest villages in France. As a result, they get heaps of visitors, and the local hospital is made from the same stone. Being a modern building with modern windows, doors etc, it looks weird. From the direction we came in, leading into town all the buildings looked weird, and obviously new, with proper footpaths etc, until you reach the middle. Leaving town though, we saw this.
