We awoke to a rainy day in Uzes so decided we had done enough exploring the previous evening. Breakfast at the hotel was wonderful. Homemade bread, jam, fresh squeezed orange juice and a fruit salad. Wish I had taken a picture of it. It was beautiful.
We headed east toward the Parc du Luberon to visit the small village of Bonnieux. John had read that it was a fun drive and on the list of "most charming villages" in France (hard to find an UN-charming one!). The route was beautiful even on a cloudy day. Winding up through the mountains - not a problem for those of us from Colorado, but we imagine that visitors from Kansas would have a fright or two.
Bonnieux! We parked at the base of the village and walked up to the centre ville.

Had a lovely lunch in the village - very few places open. Our waiter was a really fun kid - Kenny - who speaks English with a really convincing American accent. He attributes this to spending "countless hours in bars" drinking and chatting with the American students in nearby La Coste. He was so much fun!
We meandered our way down south through Lourmarin (really impressive), Cadenet and Pertuis. Arrived in Aix in time to see some little some little trick-or-treaters roaming up and down the Cours. The kids dress up mostly as witches and zombies here. Didn't seen any princesses or pirates like at home.
We had dinner on the Cours at Pizza Pappa. They were offering free drinks for anyone showing up in a costume. Didn't buy John's story that we were dressed up as American tourists!
