The day started with yummy fresh French croissants and a cup of coffee, followed by our first visit to one of the wineries in the area, Chateau du Moulin. They had interesting wines and even their own made olive oil, which is so good for salad. After the wine tasting, we went to eat in one of the small villages around.

Then before the next wine tasting, we decided
to go for a quick walk through the Gorges of the Toulourenc. Located north of Malaucène, the Gorges of the Toulourenc
are a wonderful place to visit on a hot day. For this quick visit, we took
Filou with us. Filou is a cute dog who likes water but hates rain, which is a
bit weird.
There are not that many trails in the gorges
on the side of the river, the only way to go is through the water. The
refreshing, cold water is just so wonderful on a hot day even Filou enjoyed it.
Walking up the river is really nice, especially
as the water is not deeper than keen high in most places. We did find one spot
with deeper water, until the hips. Filou seemed a bit afraid to swim in it and
was looking for alternatives. I was worried that he will slip and break a leg,
therefore I decided to carry him, but he scratched me because he is not used to
being carried, I got annoyed and dropped him in the water. Well, he had to swim
a bit.
After our first visit to the gorge, we decided
to come a second time to try to walk as much of it as we can, but without the dog.
For the afternoon, we visited Domaine des
Anges for the second trip to wine tasting. It was interesting to learn about
their wines, and especially that they have some red wines which are aged in
amphoras, like the Greeks or ancient Greeks. This place is simply so beautiful,
they even have a pool and you can actually rent some of the houses and have a
holiday there, looks like heaven with wine.
