Lost in the luberon

We're safe in our hotel in orange tonight. I think will is tired of hearing me do sharp intakes of air all day. We drove thru skinny one lane/two way roads with steep drop offs. The drop offs always seem to be on our side of the road. Every time a car came at us It was very scary.
We visited le chateau Grimaldi in cache sur mere before we left this morning. I find it interesting that you can wander thru rooms filled with antique furniture almost without any else around- no tourists no guards. We also walked around the old renaissance town.
We drove to Rousillan where ochre was mined before artificial pigment was made. Another charming village perched on a hill. We passed the julien bridge on the way. This was started in 47 bc and was used up until 2005 as a bridge on a major road.
We had dinner in isle sur le sorgue. Nothi g special just pizza but again a pretty setting
Below are pictures from today.
