Anyhow, I'm back!<BR/><BR/>Aditi,<BR/>Zsolt,<BR/>Piika,<BR/>Ash,<BR/>It’s actually amazing the amount of lovely and well preserved structures we still have in Europe from Roman times!<BR/><BR/>Kuanyin,<BR/>Thanks. I take it as a compliment…<BR/><BR/>Peter,<BR/>Thanks for confirming. It’s probably better to avoid talking about prices in Provence and nearby regions… either for land or for truffles. It’s a shame that you didn’t manage to buy that piece at Les Baux, surely one of my favourite villages in Provence; and I’ll post two or three pictures of it on one of the next posts… Swimming under the Pont must have been an exciting experience!<BR/><BR/>Lilyane,<BR/>It was a pleasure to see your posts on Madeira. Loved and enjoyed to add some further information...<BR/><BR/>Moi,<BR/>Well, truffles are rare, so the cost… Anyhow, can you imagine the work (and cost) of training all those pigs (and dogs) to find them in the wood. Not a piece of cake (or chocolate)...<BR/><BR/>Shionge,<BR/>Thanks. Markets are usually a great excitement; the problem is that in some places they’re being evicted by supermarkets...<BR/><BR/>Lori,<BR/>You’re welcome!<BR/><BR/>Lv2<BR/>The weather was great at the end of May, and we managed to avoid the summer crowds; that was an additional reason for the happiness...<BR/><BR/>Lara,<BR/>Thanks. Much appreciated.<BR/><BR/>Ele^_^<BR/>Ci sembrano essere tanti acquedotti a Roma... State parlando del Parco degli Acquedotti, del Palatino o di un altro che io non conosco? Il castello del Duca <BR/>Grazie per il link!<BR/><BR/>April,<BR/>I fully agree on the Pont! Thanks for the hint on Vista!<BR/><BR/>Cuckoo,<BR/>Thanks for the comment. I’ve also enjoyed the posts on your main blog!<BR/><BR/>Niki,<BR/>They are selling vegetables, but not truffles; too late, May...<BR/><BR/>Isabella,<BR/>Thanks. I can imagine you (packing a bunch of banknotes and) enjoying those truffles on winter Sunday markets... ;)<BR/><BR/>Annie,<BR/>For sure you should go back and visit this particular area; it’s lovely...<BR/><BR/>Neva,<BR/>Thanks for the nice comment!<BR/><BR/>Again, sorry for being late in answering, and thanks a lot for your visits, comments and support.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14878297.post-34417563559428477372007-07-09T14:59:00.000+01:002007-07-09T14:59:00.000+01:00Such wonderful buildings....thanks for sharing!Such wonderful buildings....thanks for sharing!Ashhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05867919018746028462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14878297.post-23466968578899610142007-07-07T16:18:00.000+01:002007-07-07T16:18:00.000+01:00That structure is amazing!

Refreshing a hot summer day!<BR/><BR/>By the way, the first times I visited Pont du Gard, you were still allowed to cross the bridge on the top level (and the road was still open for normal through traffic). Not very secure - and not allowed anymore! Anyhow, I survived, as you may guess.Peterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13024294080108212018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14878297.post-6076113442077026272007-07-04T14:09:00.000+01:002007-07-04T14:09:00.000+01:00Thank you, for all the information left on my blog...Thank you, for all the information left on my blog, they supplement my beautiful voyage In Mad�ra<BR/> You make known the good things of France. <BR/>I swam in Gard, under the bridge, there is much dangerous movement.lyliane six https://www.blogger.com/profile/15213273594099944174noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14878297.post-62578948117354625912007-07-04T09:02:00.000+01:002007-07-04T09:02:00.000+01:00Well, you are still in the region of France I know...Well, you are still in the region of France I know the best. Happy you visited it and can (of course) confirm all your statements. <BR/><BR/>All the small villages around Usèz are charming and getting extremely popular. Prices for a house or a flat are now on the level of Luberon. (Sometimes I - hate to -think about the fact that I was offered to buy a small piece of land close to Baux de Provence in 1968 - for almost "nothing", but was too poor even to pay "nothing"!!) <BR/><BR/>Truffel is delicious, but in small doses (fortunately, if you consider the price for it)!<BR/><BR/>Best regards to your wife!
