Les Rochers, Pont Romain, St. Léger-du-Ventoux
That enormous converted farmhouse seen under the Roman bridge over the river Toulourenc, had 12 bedrooms. It was the summer retreat of the family of my school French-exchange partner. I came here most summers from the age of 14 until my early twenties. How lucky was I??!!! It was a very formative experience! I'm still in contact with him by the way, so that's 51 years and my first visit there seems like yesterday! I did use black and white for my first holiday there so this must have been taken in 1972.
A bit of Led Zep and why not? Sight and Sound www.youtube.com/watch?v=xaVFvWk3VZE

Thank you, William. Yes I did tweak it a bit on the sepia front. It needed a bit of something before posting!

Yes you're right, Isabel! For some reason I thought I had posted a Cream song. Both bands were enormous of course!

Is the bridge still standing? It looks as if some of the wall has disappeared. I remember going to France to stay with my French penpal, it was a great time and I spent almost 4 weeks in central France which was absolutely fabulous

Yes it's still standing, Jenny! I know this from Google Earth and street maps.

Crikey! But then my parents have just celebrated their 65th wedding anniversary! A miracle considering how different they are as personalities!
