The Circus came to Trèbes after we left . . . by Beausoleil

Mollégès - the newly renovated Château by Beausoleil
Mollégès is a village in Provence that is currently growing. It is nearly a suburb of Saint-Remy-de-Provence and very near Avignon and many of the Provencal perched villages. It's a great central base for exploring the Luberon. They recently renovated the Château and the town is spic and span. They have all the necessities of life including good roads. It also manages to be quiet and fairly untouristed. They have a monument to the draft horse that is unique in the world. It is the cheval de trait and is the only stone monument to a draft horse carved from a single block of stone. It stands in front of the Château and near the stadium, church and recycling center . . . and free parking. The monument was carved by Camille Soccorsi from Tarascon. Work on the church, Église Saint-Pierre-ès-Liens, undertaken in the 1960s revealed paintings from the 19th century. The decoration of the choir with its landscapes of Provence was recently carried out by Anastasie Tchougounova-Tetrel. These also appear to be somewhat unique since we haven't seen anything similar in churches in Provence.

Étretat - Surfer coming in for the day by Beausoleil
Turner, Boudin, Monet and many others would paint the famous cliffs at Étretat. The Falais d’Aval (on the left when looking at the sea), a huge arch, was carved by the waves. The huge pointed rock you see through the arch is the Aiguille Creuse (hollow needle). Looking right as you face the ocean, you see the Falais Amont and at the top of the Falaise Amont is the small Chapelle Notre-Dame de la Garde. The original chapel, built in the 1850s, was destroyed during World War II. The present chapel dates from 1950. There is also tthe Etretat Heritage Museum that tells the history of the town from its origins to the 20th century. The large soaring white triangle is a monument to Charles Nungesser & François Coli who tried to fly from Paris to New York in 1927. Their plane was last seen over Étretat. The original monument was destroyed in the war and this was erected in 1962.
