Bonnieux and Lacoste

Flew to Marseille on Thursday, picked up a rental car and drove to Bonnieux. Staying in a nice little apartment at the top of the village.

Thursday night dinner at a new restaurant/wine bar, Au p'tit Coin de Cuisine", in Bonnieux. Lamb shanks and dauphinois potatoes for Cherry and Matthew, white fish with aioli for Linden. And rosé from local vineyard Chateau Canorgue (the vineyard Russell Crowe inherited in "A Good Year.".

Only in France

The Tree of Life - a new statue near the Lacoste chateau

Pierre Cardin (he owns the chateau) hasn't put a name next to this new one yet

Lacoste viewed from a high point in the cedar forest (higher than the clouds!).

Friday night dinner at La Flambee in Bonnieux. The pain de chevre entre is large, tasty and very cheap.
