Roaming Through Europe
End of stay in France 06/13/2010
Before we left Provence, we had the opportunity to visit the museum of the French Foreign Legion! Yes, it does exist in reality, and it has an interesting history. The museum described the areas and countries of battle over the years, and how now there are legionaires from 137 countries represented. They have to serve for a minimum of 5 years. Some of the earlier uniforms, like those of other services, were quite colourful! We had dinner in a medieval village on our last evening. It had a wonderful view overlooking the surrounding vineyards, and the food was beautifully prepared and delicious. After dinner we drove slowly (many hairpin bends in the road!) through the mediterranen pines home to our gite. Comments Comments are closed. |
