And we probably should have eaten in the hotel, it just seemed a bit fancy and pricey. Everything was beautiful and I took some pictures of intriguing carvings over doorways. We'll have to visit again. It wasn't a place we want to live, but we did enjoy our visit.

I think...I'm sorry you didn't enjoy Caunes! I think it's a great village. Very artsy, with lots going on. <br />That hotel/restaurant is fantastic. Hotel d'Alibert. There's an interior courtyard with tables, so you get views of the Renaissance façades. The food is excellent.<br />There are a couple of restaurants on the main street (the one with cars), which also are very good. The Table d'Emilie, la Marberie, even the pizzeria, are all lovely. And in the evenings, down by the river, is the Cantine du Curé.<br />Did you visit the inside of the abbey? It's very pretty, and you can go underneath the altar to the crypt. There's a little amphitheater in the back where they have jazz concerts in summer.<br />Just out of town, there's a little church, Notre Dame du Cros, with a beautiful shaded picnic area behind it, alongside a clear stream. The cliffs attract rock climbers, and it's also a nice place for hiking.<br />Because it's so pretty, it attracts a lot of foreigners. But it's pretty small (3,000 I think), and you might feel better in a place with a bit more going on. Caunes is lively for its size, but it's still just a village.<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32469880.post-46046272420941037062017-06-18T22:37:38.431-04:002017-06-18T22:37:38.431-04:00Another washout, huh?
