Beaujolais (Part 2: Falls)

Following our first trip to Beaujolais, here is the sequel - this time we were invited by our friend to enjoy autumn colors of vineyards. A very nice place at this time of the year... 

For the first time in our lives we collected a full bag of grapes, put them into a kitchen-machine and had the best fresh grape juice ever! Strongly recommended!

 Home-food from our great host - mmm, it was so yammy!

Actually, there are hectares and hectares of vineyards full of grapes, which belong to no one at this time of the year, since the harvesting season is already over.

Summer holidays to Southern France

Here is a few photos from a recent car-trip to Southern France (Grenoble - Sisteron - Saint-Cyr-sur-Mer - Cassis - Gordes - Pont du Gard - Grenoble)

Mont Aiguille, Vercors (also hiked around it two years ago - very beautiful area)
